Congress has become outdated ” Should stop creating fresh narratives to divide country: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday stepped up his attack on the Congress, alleging that the opposition party is “outdated” and “out-of-warranty” and is creating narratives that seek to divide the nation.
Replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address in Rajya Sabha, the prime minister again expressed confidence of winning a third consecutive term and outlined his vision for the next five years, saying the Modi 3.0 government will put all its might in making India a developed nation.
“The third term of our government is not far away. Some people call it Modi 3.0. Modi 3.0 will put its all might to strengthen the foundation of ‘Viksit Bharat’,” the prime minister said.
In his 90-minute speech, considered his last in Parliament before Lok Sabha polls, Modi targeted the Congress saying there is public anger against the party because of its deeds and pointed to its dwindled strength in Lok Sabha.                                                            “The Congress has been against Dalits, backwards, tribals and had it not been for Babasaheb Ambedkar, they would not have got any reservation,” the prime minister said, picking up from where he left off in his reply in Lok Sabha on Monday.
Citing a letter written by Jawaharlal Nehru to chief ministers, Modi said it clearly states that the first prime minister was against reservation of any kind, especially in jobs, as it adversely affected the functioning of the government.
“The Congress which never gave complete reservation to OBCs, which never gave reservation to the poor of the general category, which did not consider Baba Saheb worthy of Bharat Ratna, kept giving Bharat Ratna only to its family. They are now preaching to us,” he said.
The PM’s remarks came in the backdrop of the Congress accusing the Modi government of running away from a caste census and promising to remove the 50 per cent cap on reservation.
Modi said the party that gave up “large chunks of the country’s land to an enemy nation is now giving sermons to us on internal security.”
“The Congress which had openly strangled democracy in its greed for power, the Congress which had dismissed democratically elected governments dozens of times overnight, the Congress which had even tried to lock newspapers, now that Congress has started creating
the narrative of breaking it,” he alleged
