PM Modi takes dig at Rahul Gandhi ahead of no-confidence debate, says ‘who speaks of social justice harms it most…’

As the no confidence motion debate against the government is about to begin in the Parliament on Tuesday, PM Modi in an apparent jibe at the opposition and Rahul Gandhi said ‘People who speak of social justice harmed it most with dynastic, appeasement, corrupt politics.’

The prime minister, who was speaking at BJP parliamentary party meeting on Tuesday, also stated, ‘opposition alliance plagued by mutual distrust’

He reiterated his call for corruption, and dynastic and appeasement politics to quit India.

He described the opposition alliance as 'ghamandia' (marked by arrogance) and congratulated the party's Rajya Sabha members for the "semi-final" win in voting on the Delhi services bill.

Modi, sources said, noted that some opposition members had described the voting in Rajya Sabha as a semi-final before the 2024 Lok Sabha polls as he exuded confidence about the BJP's prospects in the national elections.
