Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of playing TRP (Television Rating Point) politics.
“The country has suffered tremendous damage as a result of vanity and incompetence of our PM,” Rahul Gandhi said at the Congress parliamentary party (CPP) meet today.
“We never gave a PM who was ready to inflict such tremendous suffering on people of India to protect his own persona,” he added.
Rahul said that the Prime Minister often asks what the Congress did in the last 60 years? The people of India know exactly what the Congress has achieved for this country. But I would like to tell the Prime Minister what the Congress didn’t do in 67 years.
“The Congress never gave India a Prime Minister who was a prisoner of his own image. We never gave India a Prime Minister who was ready to inflict such tremendous suffering on the people of India to protect his own persona. We never gave India a Prime Minister who based his entire policy making strategy on TRP’s. We never gave India a Prime Minister who bypassed the experience of those sitting in the institutions. The country has suffered tremendous damage as a result of the vanity and incompetence of our PM” said Rahul.
When he was CM of Gujarat, he used to ridicule our Pakistan policy. Well, our Pakistan policy resulted in the complete global isolation of Pakistan and brought peace in Kashmir. By the time Congress left government in 2014 – 50 plane loads of tourists were landing in Srinagar airport every day.
Two days ago terrorists walked into the most highly defended army base in Jammu, straight into the officer’s mess and murdered our officers and men in cold blood. Is the government not responsible for maintaining the security of our bases? Are these young men just statistics destined to gather dust in the records of the government of India? Does the Govt not owe them an apology?
The Government has got itself into a complete mess with regards to Pakistan. Their policy on Pakistan is a complete failure. Why must the people of India suffer long speeches and irresponsible statements while militants supported by Pakistan walk into our army bases and kill our jawans at will?
