Rajasthan: Congress leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa has made controversial remarks against PM Modi, saying that if he is finished, the country will be saved.
"Agar Modi khatam hogaya toh Hindustan bach jayega... agar Modi raha to Hindustan khatam hojayega... (If Modi is finished than the country will be saved... if he stays then the country will be finished)... Modi doesn't know what patriotism is... agar discipline ajayega to Adani ko hum ek din me Hindustan se nikal denge (If there is discipline... then we will throw out Adani from the country in one single day)," Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said.
Addressing a gathering in poll-bound Rajasthan, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa said, "Pehle BJP ko marlo... Adani saath hi mar jayega... (First finish the BJP, Adani will be finished automatically)... Modi is selling the country... our fight is not with Adani... Ambani Adani should be put behind bars.... when Congress comes back Adani, Ambani should not come with them..."
"I tell all leaders to end their fighting and talk about ending Modi-BJP. If Modi is finished then the country will be saved. If Modi stays then the country will be ruined. Modi talks about patriotism. They don't even know what patriotism is," Randhawa maintained.
He stated, "All those who went to jail during the freedom struggle were from Congress families. Five generations of Congress families have gone to jail for the country. There is blood of every Congressman in Andaman's Cellular Jail. Modi says what has the Congress done. The Congress has given freedom to the country, it has given the country to a dishonest person like you," he commented.
Randhawa further said, "When the British came, they had brought the East India Company to do business. Modiji has brought a man like Adani by making him like the East India Company which looted the country for 200 years and took it over. The country is moving towards slavery again. Not Modi but Adani is deciding what will happen in the country."
He lashed out at factionalism and selfish leaders in Congress and said, "We have to work for the Congress, not for any individual."
Not the first time that leaders from the opposition parties have used such language against the Prime Minister. There have been several instances in the past when opposition leaders have used objectionable language against PM Modi.
