Congress on May 26 posed nine questions before Prime Minister Narendra Modi on issues such as rising prices, unemployment, and farmers’ income. The Opposition party demanded an apology for the betrayal during his tenure.
9 Years Of Modi Government
The Opposition party raised before Narendra Modi as he completed nine years in office. Further, the party said the government should mark this day as ‘Maafi Diwas’.
Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had raised critical issues during the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, who was flanked by party leaders Pawan Khera and Supriya Shrinate, released a booklet ‘Nau saal, Nau sawaal’.
”We want the PM to break his silence on these nine questions,” Jairam Ramesh said. Posing the questions to the Prime Minister, he asked, ”Why is it that inflation and unemployment are skyrocketing in India? Why have the rich become richer and the poor poorer? Why is public property being sold to PM Modi’s friends, even as economic disparities are increasing?”
Jairam Ramesh also asked why is it that the agreements made with farmers while repealing the three black farm laws have not been honoured and why has the minimum support price not been legally guaranteed. Why didn’t farmers’ income double over the last nine years, he asked.
”Why are you letting thieves escape? Why are you silent on rampant corruption in BJP-ruled states, and why are you letting Indians suffer,” he asked. On the issue of national security, Ramesh said the Congress wants to ask ”Why is it that even after your clean chit to China in 2020, they continue to occupy Indian territory”.
Further, Ramesh asked why deliberate politics of hatred for electoral gains were being used, and alleged that an atmosphere of fear in society was being fuelled. ”Why are you silent on the atrocities against women, Dalits, SC, ST, OBCs and minorities? Why are you ignoring the demand for a caste census,” Ramesh said in another poser. He also questioned the government over democracy and federalism, alleging that it has weakened our Constitutional values and democratic institutions in the last nine years.
