Congress leaders only coming out with ‘akashwani’: Narendra Modi
Ranchi: BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Sunday said that Rahul Gandhi has been only coming out with “akashwani” (celestial voices).
Modi’s made these remarks at a rally here apparently referring to the Congress vice-president’s meeting with chief ministers of Congress-ruled states in Delhi on Friday during which he asked them to check prices and implement the Lokayukta Act on the lines of Lokpal and Lokayukta Bill.
He said Congress leaders were doing the same today. Attacking Congress, Modi said the ruling party at the Centre has become a “liability” and a “crisis” for the country as it has lost connection with the masses.
Attacking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the issue of inflation, the Gujarat Chief Minister said despite holding a meeting of chief ministers on price rise three years ago, the government has so far failed to take any steps in that regard.
He claimed that he was made a head of a committee to recommend steps to curb price rise.
“There were two other CMs from UPA and Congress-ruled states. We gave 62 actionable points and recommended 20 initiatives. The PM said we did a good job. But two-and-a-half years have lapsed and no action has been taken. The Central government has been paralyzed,” Modi said.
