(Mr Modi is not only a shrewd political operator; he is a people's leader. Even if he talks something jocularly there will be a research. We were witness to his remarks on Muslims' large families in 2002--
"Hum panch Hamare pachees".
Modi had ridiculed the law allowing Muslims to have four wives !
The episode hit headlines and even a few police officials were 'transferred out'; but to voters it had a magical appeal.)
"Chehre par chehre laga lete hai log…"
"Just bringing in 'India' doesn't mean anything… East India company also had 'India' in its name. 'India' is in the name of Indian Mujahideen too,” says PM Call us whatever you want, Mr. Modi.
Taken aback, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, "We will rebuild the idea of India in Manipur".
In Journalism, scribes often argue with each other "this is not blistering attack", but with regard to PM Narendra Modi likening the Indian National Congress to Indian Mujaheddin, a terror outfit and East India Company, a British legacy that had 'enslaved India' -- journalists will hardly differ. This was a BLISTERING attack !!
For some in the opposition camp, it was a moment of 'we told you so' !! The 'name giving ceremony' in Bengaluru has perhaps boomeranged already !! Rahul Gandhi and Mamata Banerjee complimented each other and took 'credit' for the Quiz Master variety and NGO type 'political intellect'.
The Opposition party's conclave did not have any political substance. Entire efforts were spent on just naming an alliance and that too at the level of acronym. The full definition of 'I.N.D.I.A' is more puzzling.
Rahul Gandhi counters, "We are INDIA. We will help heal Manipur and wipe the tears of every woman and child. We will bring back love and peace for all her people. We will rebuild the idea of India in Manipur.
“East India Company, PFI, Indian Mujaheddin also using India in their name. Chehre par chehre laga lete hai log…
From the Opposition's conduct, it seems that they have decided to remain in the Opposition. We have to work in the interest of the public and move forward," PM Modi jibed.
At the BJP parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, July 25, the that the ‘frustrated and disappointed’ Opposition had decided to remain in its current position".
BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad, says "We are proud of our PM. We are coming back to power in 2024. PM Modi has given a statement that Indian National Congress, East India Company was founded by a foreign national.
Today people are using names like Indian Mujahideen and Indian People's Front. Something on face value could be different from something that is really true"
Now, it will be relevant to recall a few similar instances, Modi's hard-hitting punches had left the opposition and his detractors even in the media dismayed and shell-shocked.
Some of these include -- 'Maa-Bete ki Sarkar (for policy paralysis and remote controlled-Manmohan Singh Govt)
* Shehzadey (for Rahul Gandhi in 2014)
Few more ::: "jo beta Amethi nahi sambhal sakta, woh desk ko kya sambhalega".
-- "2 G ka suna tha, ab Jija ji ka bhi sun lijiye" (Jija ji means brother in law, this is in reference to Robert Vadra)
