NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday took a jibe at the opposition leaders who held a grand meeting in Patna on June 23, saying that every leader present in the “photo session” has a “history of scams“.
The Prime Minister’s remarks come days after leaders of 15 opposition parties held a conclave in Patna to finalise a roadmap for the formation of an anti-BJP front ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
Scoffing at the meeting, PM Modi, who was addressing BJP workers in poll-bound Bhopal, said that the leaders are feeling unsettled since the saffron party will sweep next year’s general election.”Wo baukhala gaye hain (They feel unsettled). So, they have started to hold meetings… A few days ago a photo session was organised by them (Opposition) and if you see the photographs, you will realise that every person in the photo has their own history of scams, Every photo is a guarantee of corruption and scams,” he said,
The Prime Minister said every opposition leader in the frame is a guarantee of at least “Rs 20 lakh crore corruption”.
“Congress alone has carried out scams worth lakhs of crores. The RJD, TMC, NCP all of them have a long list of scams,” the Prime Minister said.
The Prime Minister said that opposition parties tried to take on BJP in 2014 and 2019 too, but they did not look as unsettled as they do today.
“Today, they prostrate in front of each other and there was a time that they used to abuse each other all the time. Their restlessness shows that the people of the country have made up their minds to bring back the BJP in the 2024 elections. Once again in 2024, the massive victory of the BJP is certain, that is why all the opposition parties are in a panic,” he added.
‘Will take every scamster to task’
PM Modi said that the opposition can only “guarantee” scams, adding that he will ensure action is taken against every scamster.
“These parties have experience only with scams, and they only have one guarantee, which is of scams. The country has to decide if it wants to accept this guarantee. And here is Modi’s guarantee and that is – to take action against every scammer,” PM Modi said.
Without naming RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, PM Modi said leaders of the opposition parties had headed to Patna to take lessons of being in jail from “experienced” people.
“You have heard, when a criminal returns to his village from jail, people come to him eagerly to know his experience of jail. Leaders of the opposition party also need that type of experience as they know that they are under scanner and for this, what better than Patna,” PM Modi further said.
