NEW DELHI: Congress media chairman Pawan Khera on Monday said PM Modi took the name of Congress 44 times in his 51-minute speech in Bhopal.
“This is exactly the same as a film that came in 1966 – ‘Neend Hamari, Khwaab Tumhare’,” he said.
Khera’s interpretation: “In a state where BJP has been in power for 18 years, you are taking the name of Congress 44 times. This indicates that the achievements of the BJP government in Madhya Pradesh are ‘Zero’.
Countering PM Modi’s claim in his public speech in Madhya Pradesh that the Congress is against the “women’s reservation bill,” he said this bill was brought down in the Rajya Sabha in 1989 by the BJP leaders like Atal Behari Vajpayee, Lalkrishna Advani, Ram Jethmalani and Jaswant Singh when Rajiv Gandhi brought this bill.
“You are in power for nearly 10 years, but you did not bring the women’s reservation bill and when the bill has been brought, it will take about 10 years for it to become a law. This is your intention, Khera said.
He added: “Sorry, but the Prime Minister of this country is a certified liar.”
Khera said: “The reality of PM Modi came to light the day when film actresses came to Parliament, but the President of the country was not there.”
That is why Rahul Gandhi says that you are a casteist. You are against Dalits, tribals, minorities, women, he said.
“You could not expel Brij Bhushan Singh and talk about women’s rights,” he added.
