Fight last two phases for Rajiv's honour, Modi tells Congress

Ranchi, May 6 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday challenged the Congress to fight the last two phases of polls for the honour of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

"Today I challenge Congress and 'namdar' family from this land to fight the coming Lok Sabha polls of Delhi, Punjab and Bhopal for the honour of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi who faced corruption allegations over Boforos (howitzer gun for the Indian Army in the late eighties).

"I spoke one word about Rajiv Gandhi, and it appeared to have stung like a scorpion to them," said Modi while addressing a rally at Chaibasa of Jharkhand on Monday.

Last week Modi at an election rally in Uttar Pradesh had commented about former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi "ending his life as bhrashtachari (corrupt) number one," triggering an uproar in political circles with Congress President Rahul Gandhi hitting back by saying "karma awaits" Modi.

"They do not have respect for the post of Prime Minister. For the last one year, they have been abusing Prime Minister and his family. Their cry will expose them more. The current generation of youth will come to know how one family looted and damaged the country," said the Prime Minister.

"Thousands of people died in Bhopal gas tragedy and what was done after the gas tragedy?," Modi asked, adding the Congress should fight Bhopal and Punjab polls for "his (Rajiv Gandhi's) honour".

"Fight the election over Bofors allegations," said Modi.

"Accept my challenge. Enough lies have been told by the Congress and the adulterated alliance," he said.

"This country needs strong and stable government. The country does not need a family-run government. This country needs a clean government," he said.

    One can read his body language easily.
    He is the most frustrated person.
    He smelled the utter defeat.
    But the problem with him is that he doesn’t want to leave sugary hot seat.
    He is like now fish out of water.
    .
    .
    23 is horrible day for him.
    ..... but what to do he has to accept the fact.

    Shame on you Modi. You in the first place should learn to hold the dignity of your chair. Dont blame all your failures on the congress. If you had enough achievements, you didnt have to keep blaming congress. You dont have anything to say about your achievements and you keep ranting about what congress did.

    Moreover, you say the congress has been speaking nonsense about you. Please remember when your party threw insults about Rahul, Sonia and their family, you didnt stop them. If you didnt stop them, you are equally responsible for their actions. And your actions bought opposite and equal reaction.

    If you really cared about the dignity of your chair, your wouldnt name a ex prime minister whose bofors allegations were never proved. You ruled for 5 years. You have every weapon in your hands. Why didnt you restart the investigation.

    Ofcourse, every political party in our country is facing corruption charges. It is just that you are better with speaking lies.

    Aren't you forgetting, Mr. Modi, that the advocate who fought Boforse and couldn't prove anything, is in your government serving as FM ?

    Why don't you ask him what the reality is ? Why are you publicly displaying your feather-brain ?

    All your charges, allegations and accusation on congress past and present members are either given clean chit by the court or not reached the court or rejected by the court but none of your allegations are pending. But your Rafale deal is still pending but you are dodging your way to evade by submitting fabricated or false documents.
