Congress is busy generating income for just one family, Modi tells Rajat Sharma in 'Aap Ki Adalat' on India TV

New Delhi: Coming down heavily on the dynastic politics prevalent in Indian National Congress, Narendra Modi charged the party with having one point agenda of generating income for only one family (Read Gandhi-Nehru family).Appearing in ‘Aap Ki Adalat' show of Rajat Sharma on India TV, Modi came down heavily on the Congress party and said that people may believe that Congress is a party where there is no tussle over leadership but this is something that has led to the fall of the more than 100 years old party.He sarcastically remarked that today the entire party is busy generating income for just one family.“That is what has led to Congress' fall. Instead of improving the economy of the nation, they are busy generating income for one family,” remarked Modi.Responding to Rahul Gandhi's charge that Modi wants to become the only chowkidaar (watchman) but the nation needs of chowkidaars, Modi retorted that let Rahul explain if those who snatched homes of Kargil martyr's widows (Read Ashok Chavan) and grabbed lands in Rajasthan and Haryana (Robert Vadra) will also be part of those chowkidaars? Modi wondered whether it did not amount to handing over the responsibility of guarding the milk to cats.“It's a good thing that he listens to my speeches carefully and he knows that crores of chowkidar will serve him good. One could pose a problem. I am worried that if there are 150 crore chowkidaars then will they include Adarsh Scam culprits and those who have snatched lands of widows of Kargil martyrs? Their LS candidates who have been accused of land acquisition of the farmer of Rajasthan - will they also be chowkidaars? If this is the case then it seems that cat will be made in-charge of milk,” said Modi.Pooh-poohing Congress party's slogan of Har Haath Shakti, Har Haath tarrakki”, Modi said “They need to come up with ideas to put a lid on what they have done. Their hand that commits sin has to be portrayed in some other way. That is why, for them, it's- Har Haath Loot, Har Honth Jhooth (Every hand loots, every lip speaks a lie).When asked a question on Congress leader Anand Sharma's allegations of BJP spending Rs 10000 crore on poll related publicity, Modi reacted sharply and challenged the ruling party to get the charges investigated either by EC (Election Commission) or ED (Enforcement Directorate). He reminded Congress they are still left with around a month in office and they should get the charges probed as soon as possible.“The first thing that Anand Sharma needs to do is to write to the EC (Election Commission). Then there is a govt agency named Enforcement Directorate (ED). Since they don't do anything, I'm giving them an idea of doing some work. Let them fully investigate it. Let Anand Sharma do it as fast as possible. If there is any objection from EC, I'm willing to writing to EC to let them do it,” said Modi.A confident looking Modi answered all questions with quite ease and calmness.When Rajat Sharma asked Modi about Rahul's charge that he has got the expertise of selling combs even to balds, Modi said that he would consider it an achievement if Rahul thinks so.“I used to sell tea. I never sold combs but the information that I can do it has reached them, is sort of achievement for me, remarked Modi.In this marathon interview to Rajat Sharma, Modi also praised Amitabh Bachchan for not taking a single penny for promoting Gujarat and becoming its brand ambassador. Modi accused Mulayam Singh of using Amitabh Bachchan although he conceded the fact that Amitabh was indeed close to Mulayam as they both come from the same state UP.“There is difference between Modi and others. He is indeed close to Mulayam Singh Yadav. He is from UP and thus he has his attachments. But Mulayam Singh used him. He used him in his election campaigns with the slogan - “UP mein hai dum, zulm hai kam”. But that didn't work.”“Amitabh's role needs to be reflected with intellect. I used him to talk about Gujarat and not of Gujarat government. He advertises Kutch, its handicraft and lifestyle. So if I have that thought, that is my work. I use Amitabh Bachan as a productive resource for the welfare of Gujarat. It's been around 5 years that he's been working with me. Neither he has ever spoken about politics and nor have I. And today let me clarify, when I had given him the proposal that I wanted to promote tourism in Gujarat, he said, “I give you my voice and my face, you may use it”. He refused to take money from me. He does not take a single rupee for promoting tourism in Gujarat and for this I am extremely grateful to him,” added Modi.
