NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a pointed criticism on the Congress party during his visit to Maharashtra's Washim district , accusing the grand old party of fostering divisive politics and being run by a "gang of urban naxals ."
Addressing a public rally, Prime Minister alleged that Congress is intentionally pitting communities against each other to push its agenda of dividing the country.
He asked people to unite against the "dangerous agenda" of the grand old party. "They (Congress) think that if we all unite, then their agenda to divide the country will fail," PM said.
Prime Minister Modi also linked the party to a major drug bust in Delhi, saying, "Drugs worth thousands of crores have been recovered. The main accused in this drug racket is a Congress leader. Congress wants to push the youth towards drugs and use that money to contest and win elections."
PM commented that the Congress' mindset has been foreign from the very beginning. "Just like the British rule, the Congress family also does not view Dalits, backward communities, and tribals as their equals," he said.
In his address, he praised the Banjara community for its major contributions to nation-building, while emphasising his government's continued efforts to support marginalised communities and bolster rural development.
The Prime Minister's remarks came as he launched several major initiatives in Washim, including projects related to the agricultural and animal husbandry sectors, worth around Rs 23,300 crore. Among these, he inaugurated 9,200 Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) with a collective turnover of about Rs 1,300 crore, aimed at improving the livelihoods of farmers.
