Dynastic politics destroyed our country: Narendra Modi targets Congress in Independence Day speech from Red Fort

| @indiablooms | Aug 15, 2023, at 08:58 pm

Indian PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday made an indirect jibe at the Congress party while addressing the nation on Independence Day and said the 'dynastic system' gripped the country and snatched away the rights of the people.

He said corruption is the root of all problems in India.

“Freedom from corruption, fight against corruption in every area and in every sector is the need of the hour. And countrymen, my dear family members, this is Modi’s commitment; it is my personal commitment that I will continue to fight against corruption,” said the Prime Minister.

Speaking on dynastic politics, he said: “This dynastic system had gripped the country and snatched away the rights of the people of the country.”

The third evil, Modi emphasized, is appeasement.

“This appeasement has also stained the basic thinking of the country, our harmonious national character. These people destroyed everything. And therefore, we must fight against these three evils with all our might. Corruption, nepotism and appeasement; these challenges have flourished which suppressed the aspirations of the people of our country," he said.
