New Delhi, Jul 25: PM Modi on Tuesday derided the opposition alliance INDIA as the most directionless the country had ever seen and cited reviled names such as East India Company and Indian Mujahideen to assert that people cannot be misled merely by the use of the country’s name.According to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi, the prime minister informed the BJP Parliamentary Party conference that the opposition has opted to remain in opposition due to its behaviour.
The prime minister claimed that even those seeking to overthrow the government went by names like the East India Company and the Indian Mujahideen, but the public would not be duped by such ploys, according to BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri.
According to former Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Modi informed BJP leaders that foreigners started the East India Company and Indian National Congress.Additionally, he claimed that individuals were going by names like Indian Mujahideen and Popular Front of India, but the truth was very different from what they were trying to portray.
There has never been such a directionless and aimless opposition in the nation, according to several officials present at the meeting.According to Modi, the opposition is upset and unhappy, and their actions indicate that they have already decided to stay in the opposition.
Insisting that India will overtake the United States as the third-largest economy during his government’s next term, he voiced confidence that the BJP will win the popular vote and take office after the 2024 elections.
According to sources, when opposition parties banded together under the banner of their coalition, “INDIA,” Modi retaliated by alleging that this was merely an effort to deceive the public.He used the names of various organisations that use the word “India” to demonstrate that nothing changes simply because they use the phrase in their nomenclature, according to the sources.
The Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) has been formed by up to 26 opposition parties to compete with the NDA, which is led by the BJP, in the Lok Sabha elections next year.
