RAHA, Assam: Attacking the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the country has suffered due to ‘backseat driving’ and ‘remote control’ and warned people of Assam against an unstable government in the state.
Addressing a poll meeting here, he asked the people to elect a BJP-led government with absolute majority and defeat the forces which were spreading rumours to create political instability in Assam and stop the state from embarking on the path of development.
Targeting former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his statement that his government believed in more work than mere talk, Modi said, “What he said was true and the scams of his period have started speaking now.”
“Manmohanji ne kahan ki zubaan se zyada kaam bolta hain aur ab toh aapka kaam bolne laga hain. Yeh toh saach hain ki paap bolte hain aur ab toh parche khulne lage hain aur sab pareshan hain (Manmohanji had said that work speaks more than words and now their work has started speaking. It is true that sins do speak, now the results of their misdeeds are out and all are disturbed),” he said.
In an apparent dig at Singh, Modi said the nation has suffered enough from ‘backseat driving’ and asked people not to hand over the ‘remote control’ into anyone’s hands.
“There are some people who are getting greedy that they will take advantage of a hung assembly and claiming they will run business. Should this be allowed?
“The country has suffered enough from this backseat driving. Should Assam be allowed to be destroyed through this backseat driving? They are not interested in the country. Don’t give the remote control into anyone’s hands,” he said.(Agencies)
