Modi is in grip of Rahul phobia: Congress


New Delhi, Mar 5 (PTI): Congress described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as being in grip of "Rahul phobia" and said he has made a "mockery of democracy" by making "petty- minded jibes" in his political speech on President's address in Parliament, never done in the past.

Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that the Prime Minister's speech was "devoid of substance" as he lost the opportunity of clearing doubts of people that were raised through questions posed by Congress and Rahul Gandhi, which he never answered.

"Prime Minister Shri Modi seems to be in the grip of what I can describe as 'Rahul phobia'. It is an acute disease. It has now attained the size of an epidemic as far as the BJP and the Prime Minister are concerned.

"In what has now become a characteristic habit of the Prime Minister, he again made a mockery of democracy and Parliament. In a response to President's address, this kind of political petty-fogging, petty-minded jobs is neither the culture nor the occasion, nor the manner and style sanctified and hallowed in the almost 70 years of Indian Democracy," he said.

Singhvi said merely because the Congress Vice President raises genuine concerns, as many as three senior Ministers jumped in to deflect questions asked to Modi.

"All that the Prime Minister did, in a speech 'devoid of substance', was that petty pointless attacking on Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, the Congress party and the legacy of the Congress...We reject the reply of the Prime Minister as being misleading and giving no real answers," he said.

Singhvi said there have been many Prime Ministers, many political parties in power, there have been many acrimonious elections and there have been less acrimonious elections, but President's addresses or responses to them are not the occasion to give this kind of a petty political speeches.

"We are forced to say that the Prime Minister has yet again lost the opportunity to give substantive answers, to clear and assuage the genuine doubts of the people.

"The questions raised by Congress and by Rahul Gandhi are pointed questions of legitimate public concern and legitimate public interest and they stretch in the length and breadth of India," he said.

Singhvi also pointed out that the Prime Minister in his "political diatribe" did not mention a word about Rohith Vemula, Kanhaiya Kumar, about the behaviour of Delhi Police, about the 'lumpen' elements across the country linked to ABVP, and atrocities on Dalits and students.

"The PM should explain why he didn't apologise for the false speech of his HRD Minister in Parliament," he asked.

    Right from the time Mr Modi aspired and after coming to the Centre he has tried to evoke cheap thrills by making personal attacks on individuals which is unbecoming of the stature of a Prime Minister. He is not even aware of the basic etiquete as to where to speak and what to speak. Even on foreign soil he has spoken cheap and brought down the image of India.

    When the subject matters of aachi din is totally exhausted, Mr. Modi has to find some new subjects thus now targeting on Rahul Gandhi to inspire his deity worshippers.

    Since the Indian Government has denied visa for three people from the U.S. who were working with Religious Freedom Foundation to make a study about the minority religious freedom India, right after sending a letter to Mr. Modi signed by 24 Congressmen and 8 Senator, now his target would be directed towards the minorities.
    Thus the aachi din show is going on.

    The RSS Chosen candidate and a remote controlled Chaaiwaala P.M., of India has created three leaders to become famous.

    1) Rahulji was a leader but the RSS and (BJP is entirely RSS) their supporters have made him famous.
    2) Hardik patel was not a leader but they made him a leader and a famous in Gujarat.
    3) Kanhaiya Kumar was only a student's leader. The Anpad Smriti Irani, the Lawyers/Lie law givers made him a famous leader.

    Overall there was a constitutional break down for a brief period inside the court and outside of the court.

    The Supreme court promptly intervened and acted upon swiftly if not acted upon there would have been a President's rule in India.

    Rahul/ Congress did not raise pointed queries. Fair and Lovely comparison is good for media. The question should have been about tougher measures, if the waiver scheme for black money is appropriate etc. Not sound bites. Congress has no moral responsibility to issue this kind of statement when they are not acting as responsible opposition.

    After reading your concluding lines I must thank you for being true to your conscious.

    Remember the galore of intellectuals within congress know themselves better than anyone else what is good for the party, it is none of your business.

    Finally..., It was Jan sangh alias BJP which was in coma for the past 60 years of Hindustan's post independence political scene.

    Once again thanks for your conclusion - you don't have locus standie to care for others views or disagreement in this regard.

    In my view, undoubtedly our honorable PM Namo is suffer from Rahul/Sonia/Congi/Nehru phobia.., the suffering is so much deep that he can't take this phobia out from his mind while speaking even inside the parliament that too on a thanks giving motion on The President of Hindustan's speech addressing the joint session of the MP's.
    Pitty on our PM.., he is still feel like making election speeches pulling somebody's leg's just to entertain Bhakt's.

    May be our honorable PM is right as he is under compulsion to keep his parivar members & bhakt's happy (who are also suffer from deep sedated dongi congi/rahul/sonia/Nehru/Indira phobia).
