Congress slams PM Modi's speech, calls his government the weakest
Congress criticises the BJP-led government, calls it the weakest. PM Modi's 'peacenik' act fails to convince the Opposition.
In Short
- Congress slams PM Modi, called his government the weakest.
- Modi posed as Alexander, but turned out to be just another person: Tewari.
- Looks like he will fight next election from Pakistan, said Tewari.
If Narendra Modi as Gujarat Chief Minister called then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh as the 'weakest prime minister', in almost a reminder of sorts Congress party today called his government the 'weakest government ever'.
"This is the weakest government ever. Russia is exercising with Pakistan, Iran taking about Chabar with Pakistan, China is investing," said Manish Tewari.
This comes within 24 hours of Modi's high voltage reply to 'people of Pakistan' asking them to wage a war against poverty and within hours of his Maan ki Baat where he reiterated Uri martyrs lives will not be forgotten.
MODI PORTRAYED HIMSELF AS ALEXANDER
"Modi portrayed himself as Alexander but turned out to be just another person. Invoking war on poverty is proof of a peacenik," said Sandeep Dikshit while speaking to India Today.
Manish Tewari said the country wants action, not words. "I don't want to raise 56-inch issue or red eyes. But surprised to see PM Modi teach development to people of Pakistan. Looks like he will fight next election from Pakistan," said Tewari commenting on PM's statement.
At a time when the government is battling a perception war on how serious it is to avenge the deaths of 18 martyrs in Uri, this latest onslaught by the principal opposition party will surely make things a bit more tough for the government and BJP alike.
