There will be no more elections, says Cong chief
Bhubaneswar, Jan 30:
AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday said “if Modi is re-elected as Prime Minister in the 2024 Lok Sabha election then it will be the last elections in the country.” “There will be no more elections after 2024 if Modi is re-elected and there will be dictatorship in India like Vladimir Putin in Russia”, Kharge alleged while addressing a massive rally christened as “Odisha Bachho Divas” organised by the State Congress here.
The Congress president said the BJP and RSS combination is dangerous for thecountry which only destroysdemocracy and theconstitution.
He described theBJP-RSS combination as poison, and asked the people not to trust them as they are trying to snatch away therights of the SC, ST and OBC and the common people.
Kharge said while Congress is trying to unite the people, the BJP is playing a divide and rule policy.
The AICC president remarked the fight is now between the rich and the pooradding that while the BJP is for ther ich, the Congress is for the poor and its now up to the people to decide whether they want a government for the rich or a government for the poor.
Kharge also came down heavily on Odisha Chief Minister and BJD supremo Naveen Patnaik stating that there is a big difference between Naveen Patnaik and his father late Biju Patnaik.
Hes aid Biju Patnaik was a close friend of Jawaharlal Nehru and was following his ideology while his son Naveen Patnaik isfollowing the ideology of BJP.
The veteran Congress leadera sked thepeople of Odisha what they have got during the 23 years tenure of Naveen Patnaik in the State.
Naveen has promised 35 per cent irrigation and cold storage in all the 314 blocks in the state, he said and questioned whether these promises were fulfilled in the last 23 years.
There are 30 lakh vacancies in the country and yet no steps have been taken by the Modi government to fill up these vacancies. BJP had promised two crore employment, Kharge said and asked have they given anyemployment.
In Odisha also 2.36 lakh vacancies are yetto be filled up by the Naveen Patnaik Government which has not taken any steps while the unemployment figure has touched 45 lakhs.
Kharge also slammed Naven Patnaik for allowing an officer’s raj in the State andasked the people whether they need people from outside the State to run the Government.
There had been chit fund scam, multi crore mining scam and several other scams in Odisha yet nothing has happened, no ED or CBI probe, the Congress president said this is because there has been an unholy nexus between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.
On Nitish Kumar leaving the I.N.D.I.A. alliance, he said one or two people leaving the alliance will not makeany impact. The I.N.DI.A. bloc will not become weak and will remain as strong as it wa, he added.
