NEW DELHI: Defying the consistent sloganeering from opposition members which at times threatened to drown his voice, PM Modi on Tuesday drew upon famous dialogues from popular Bollywood movies to dismiss the estimate about June 4 being the coming-of-age moment for Rahul Gandhi. “The ecosystem is, much like mausi in Sholay, trying to flatter the party by saying that you may have lost again, but you have scored a moral victory,” said Modi.
“But the people have seen through it and have a simple message, inse na ho payega (you just don’t have it in you),” the PM said, borrowing the famous line from ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, something that sparked a flurry of memes on social media.The PM was replying to the motion of thanks on the President’s Address.
“Just like the whining child who would never acknowledge that he had tore somebody’s book, abused another, called the teacher a thief and stole somebody’s lunch… Similarly, it is not disclosed that he (Rahul) is on bail in a cheating case involving thousands of crores, that he has been convicted for maligning OBCs, that SC held him guilty of making irresponsible statements and that he is facing trial for maligning Veer Savarkar,” said the PM in the fiercest direct assault on Rahul. The leader of opposition is on bail in the money laundering case related to the alleged National Herald scam.
He also reiterated his protest over Rahul’s attack on “those who call themselves Hindus”. Modi said the effort to establish an equation between Hindus and violence was well deliberated. “A conspiracy has been hatched to target the community… People will not forgive this for centuries.”
Modi said use of images of deities for personal political interests marked an “insult to our Gods”. He added, “Hindus have to decide whether what happened was just coincidence (sanjog) or part of a deliberate effort (prayog)”.
The Prime Minister also had tough words for the “ecosystem” — BJP’s shorthand for Congress supporters among the intelligentsia.
“The habits of the ecosystem, flourishing for 70 years, the way they have decided to stop the nation’s progress, and derail its development, I want to warn them… that the answer to all their conspiracies will be given in their language. This country will never accept anti-national conspiracies,” he said.
He accused Congress of trying to push the country into the throes of anarchy by pitting regions and castes against each other. “Now they are encouraging their govts in states to take measures which are not feasible. This is part of a dangerous game to create anarchy.”
