"Congress has become 'parasite', eats up votes of the party it allies with": PM Modi - World News Network

New Delhi [India], July 2 (ANI): In a scathing attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the party has become a “Parasite” party in 2024 elections as it has eaten up the votes of the party its allies with.
Replying to the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address in Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister said that most of Congress’s 99 seats were won by the efforts of their allies.
“In 13 states, they have zero seats, yet they consider themselves heroes. I would tell the Congress people not to ignore public mandate in a celebration of false victory. Now, Congress has been a “par-jeevi” party since 2024, which means the one that lives off its host and ends up consuming it. Congress, too, eats up the votes of the party it allies with. Where Congress and BJP had a direct contest, Congress’s strike rate is only 26 percent. But where they were in an alliance, their strike rate was 50 percent. Most of Congress’s 99 seats were won by the efforts of their allies,” the Prime Minister pointed out.
“In Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, where Congress fought on its own, out of 64 seats, they could win only 2. This means that Congress has become entirely “Par-jeevi”. If Congress hadn’t consumed the votes of its allies, it wouldn’t have won even these many seats,” he added.
Citing the superhit Bollywood film ‘Sholay’, PM took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi and said that the statements of Congress leaders have surpassed even the film ‘Sholay’.
“There was a “Mausi” (aunty) in it. They (Congress) have lost for the third time, but Mausi, it is a moral victory. Mausi, we got 0 seats in 13 states, but he (Rahul Gandhi) is a hero. The party has been ruined, but the party is still breathing. This new drama has been started to gain sympathy,” PM Modi said.
“But the country knows the truth that they are out on bail in the case of embezzlement of thousands of crores of rupees. They have been convicted in the case of calling OBC people as thieves. They had to apologize after giving irresponsible statements in the country’s Supreme Court. There is a case against them for insulting a great personality like the great freedom fighter Veer Savarkar,” he added.
The Prime Minister also added that the Congress has made lies, a weapon of politics.
“They are addicted to lying… Yesterday, on 1st July, the country celebrated “Khatakhat Day”. On 1st July, people were checking their bank accounts for Rs 8,500,” he said. (ANI)
