New Delhi: Over the last weekend, senior Congress ministers slammed Modi for the economic road map for India he set out in an address to party workers .Rural development minister Jairam Rameshcriticized Modi’s record on women’s empowerment-one of the priority areas listed by Modi for fast-tracking improvement if the BJP came to power after the national polls scheduled for April-May.
As the Lok Sabha polls draw near, Congress leaders seem to be fearing the worst and panicking. They leave no stone unturned to attack the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and the Aam Admi Party, their partner in Delhi.
Oil and Environment Minister Veerappa Moily said, In an exclusive interview to Reuters, Moily described Narendra Modi as a ‘bloated figure’ who will disintegrate the country if he comes to power. Moily said Modi is a bloated figure and he is not capable of winning the elections.
I don’t think he will be a figure who will be counted for the country, forget about becoming prime minister and he also said, Modi had deliberately shielded the 2002 ‘genocide’ in Gujarat. According to him, Modi is not responsible for Gujarat’s growth as the state was “number one in industrialization with the Congress regime.
On AAP, Moily said that its politics and economic policies are immature. They won in Delhi. Delhi is not India. India is not Delhi,” Moily said about the newly formed party’s prospects in the coming elections. Moily said the Congress party supported the AAP in Delhi even at the cost of embarrassment because they wanted a stable government. “We have given a chance to them,” he said.
Interestingly, Moily believes there will be a UPA-3 ruling the Centre after the election because the UPA has been focused on inclusive economics to build an inclusive society. As for the scams that had become a hallmark of the two UPA regimes, he is of the opinion that the problem is with the system and not exactly a minister.
