BSP Supremo Mayawati today slammed Prime Minister Modi for accusing opposition as supporter of black money. She said it was a classic case of pot calling kettle black.
“By blaming opposition parties, the Prime Minister is running away from government’s responsibility and answer-ability…But his remarks are totally wrong. ‘yeh ulta chor kotwal to dantey jaisa hai’ (it is like pot calling kettle black),” she said in a press statement in Lucknow.
Mayawati said Modi was harping on the same tune and his speech at BJP’s Parivartan Yatra in Bahraich, addressed through mobile phone from Lucknow, was no different.
Earlier today Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused opposition parties “discarded” by people of trying to “suppress” the truth.
“Parliament is not being allowed to function for 20 days.
We are ready for debate (on demonetisation), but we are not being allowed to present our viewpoint by those very parties that have been discarded by the electorate,” Modi said even as the Winter Session is left with just three more working days.
Modi earlier said these (opposition) parties never wanted to tread the path of honesty “but we will definitely win this fight against corruption”.
PM criticises opposition for stalling parliament over demonetisation
Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticised the opposition for stalling the parliament on the issue of demonetisation saying that they does not want the discussion on the matter in the house because they does not want the truth to be revealed.
Poor visibility prevented the helicopter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from landing in Bahraich where he had to address a Parivartan rally of BJP today.
Mr. Modi addressed the huge gathering of people through mobile phone. Lakhs of his followers and common people listened him intently, though his voice was very disturbed because of the inclement weather. He was making the call sitting in the helicopter itself.
PM Modi assured the mammoth gathering of Parivartan rally through mobile phone that the country will win the war against black money. He also said that dishonest will not be spared at any cost. He promised the people of Bahraich to meet them again soon in the future.
