Did funds for Chhattisgarh come from 'Mama's house': Narendra Modi asks Rahul Gandhi

November 15, 2013

Narendra_Modi Bemetra/Kawardha, Nov 15: In a direct attack on the Gandhi family, Narendra Modi on Thursday asked Rahul Gandhi whether central funds for Chattisgarh came from his "Mama's (maternal uncle) house" and also said Sonia Gandhi should let the "shehzada" take over Congress.

Citing multi-crore 2G and coal scams, the BJP Prime Ministerial candidate also said Congress has done "PhD in corruption" and that it has become a burden on the country and sought its ouster.

Addressing a series of public meetings in poll-bound Chattisgarh including at Kawardha, home town of Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh, Modi slammed the Congress for opposing opinion polls, saying fear of losing elections was the reason behind its "nonsensical" demand and "desperate" tactics.

Alleging that Congress' claims of giving massive funds to Chhattisgarh under various schemes is an insult to its people, Modi said, "Sonia madam and shehzada (Rahul) had come here.

Said so much foodgrains and funds were given. Are you people standing here with a begging bowl.... What kind of language is the Congress speaking".

Asserting that the people have a right to central funds, he targeted the Congress Vice President and made a veiled dig at Sonia's Italian origin.

"I want to ask shehzada that you keep on saying that we gave so much money, I want to know if he got the money from his Mama's house. Did you give the money by taking it from your Mama's house?. This is the people's money," said Modi at his first rally at Bemetra, 90 km from Raipur.

Mounting a shrill attack on the Congress President, Modi said, "Madam, you are ill. Let the shehzada (prince) take over."

Modi, Shah creating Hindu-Muslim conflict, says Kanhaiya Kumar

News Network

January 29,2020

Aurangabad, Jan 29: Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of creating a conflict between Hindu and Muslim communities in the country, former JNU student leader Kanhaiya Kumar has said the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) was adding fuel to the fire.

He was speaking at a rally held on Tuesday at Pathri in Parbhani district of Maharashtra against the CAA and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). It was organised by NCP MLC Abdullah Durrani.

"Modi and Shah used to create conflicts between Hindus and Muslims during the Gujarat elections. Now they are adopting the same strategy in the country," Kumar alleged.

Citizens should keep the religious conflicts aside and question the present government about unemployment and the poor state of the economy, he said.

"Through the CAA, the government is adding fuel to the fire, which is already raging in the country," he alleged.

When anyone questions the government about the problems existing in the country, it in turn asks him about his citizenship, the former JNUSU leader alleged.
