PM Modi should talk about issues of Karnataka instead of attacking our leadership: Congress

New Delhi/UNI: The Congress on Tuesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks on the party in Karnataka and said the latter should raise issues concerning the people of the state.

“The PM should talk about issues when he is in Karnataka. He should talk about the 40 per cent commission government. He has to talk about paper leakages in Karnataka. Instead, he chooses to talk about that…….. The more he attacks our leadership, the greater our resolve is to fight him,” Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said at a press conference in an apparent reference to PM Modi's statement in Belagavi.

She added, “I saw what the PM said in Karnataka yesterday. With every passing day, Mr. Modi is reducing the little bit of respect, dignity left in an office that he has held for nine years now.

"When the PM talks about Mr Kharge, who has 50 years of legislative experience, he does not only disgrace him but also insults the people who have elected him.”

Shrinate further added, “There are multiple videos that I can actually put out showing how senior leaders within the BJP are ill-treated. Some are put in commas the moment they pass 75 years. I wonder if it will happen to Mr Modi.”

“Congress party is the only party that has never compromised with the BJP/RSS and its despicable politics. Our leaders have openly expressed our willingness to work with like-minded political parties to preserve and protect the Constitution of India and to address economic inequality, crony capitalism, deepening political dictatorship and divisive agenda of the BJP,” she said.

Shrinate said, “The upcoming state elections in Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Telangana – will be fought with vigour and our victory will set the tone for the general elections next year.”

The commitment of the Congress is for a stronger “united India”, she asserted.
