Nitish Kumar’s crude comments give Modi ammo: ‘Doesn’t have shame… INDI Alliance partners kept mum’

“If I have said certain things that have been inviting so much criticism… If what I said was wrong, I apologise. I take back my words. If my statement is being criticised, I apologise,” Kumar said just before the beginning of the third day of the Assembly session.

On Wednesday, Modi addressed three rallies in Madhya Pradesh’s Damoh, Guna and Morena.

In Guna, he said, “Those who read newspapers, those who watch TV, their attention must have gone to an incident yesterday… One of the big leaders of INDI Alliance, who roams around with the flag of their alliance… that leader said indecent things in the assembly, where mothers and sisters were also present. No one can imagine it. He doesn’t have any shame. Not only that, not a single leader of the alliance was ready to say a word against the terrible insult of mothers and sisters.”

“Those who have such an attitude towards mothers and sisters, can they ever do good for you? How low will you stoop ? And you are humiliating the country in the world. My mothers and sisters, I will not back down and will do whatever possible for your respect,” Modi said.

Earlier, speaking in Damoh, Modi remarked on Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s comments in Gwalior a day earlier. Kharge had termed Modi, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, ED, CBI and IT as the “Panch Pandavas”.

Modi said that before 2014, the Prime Minister of the country was remote controlled by the Congress, and these days Kharge is controlled by a remote.

“The Congress president is… my good friend. But today his condition is such that he cannot do anything. Sometimes I see that our Congress president comes in his mood. Sometimes when this remote’s battery is over or its connectivity is broken, some good things come out of his mouth. I read somewhere yesterday that he remembered the Pandavas. When the remote runs, he abuses Sanatan. So, when the remote stopped, he remembered the Pandavas yesterday. And he said that there are five Pandavas in BJP. We are proud that we are walking on the path of the five Pandavas. What could cause more pride than this?”

Kharge had also said in his speech: “But these are not the actual Pandavas, these are ones that need to be defeated.”

Modi also claimed the Congress had an objection to his announcement pertaining to the five-year extension of foodgrains to beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act, 2013.

“They have been going to the Election Commission for two days. They will complain against Modi. How can he talk about giving free food to the poor? Who does Modi think he is? Brother, do whatever you want to do. The poor are mine. I do whatever I do for them. Whatever punishment I get, I will take it. But I will not stop working for the poor… Let the Congress do whatever they want. They keep doing their sins. I will keep doing my virtue,” he said.
