'Listen To Nehru': PM Modi Accuses Congress Of Spreading Misinformation During War

PM Modi said the Congress was spreading misinformation during the ongoing war in West Asia and was misleading the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday accused the Congress of spreading misinformation and falsehoods during the ongoing war in West Asia, and urged the party to listen to former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s earlier warning about the impact of wars on the country.

After inaugurating several development initiatives in Guwahati, PM Modi said, “While the BJP-led NDA government is working towards supporting farmers and achieving self-reliance for the country, the Congress party has once again demonstrated a lack of commitment to the nation. Even in times of crisis caused by war, Congress remains focused on spreading misinformation and falsehoods."

“I urge members of Congress to listen to Pandit Nehru’s August 15th speech from the Red Fort – you may find it enlightening. Pandit Nehru once remarked that the wars in South and North Korea were contributing to inflation in our country. Now think how far North and South Korea are located, yet he linked that conflict to inflation in India. Today, the Congress is working to mislead the country," he added.

PM Modi said the BJP-NDA government had ensured that India’s agricultural sector was unaffected by global crises like the Covid-19 pandemic or subsequent conflicts across the world. He also accused the Congress party of spreading rumours that the financial assistance provided to farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana would have to be returned after the elections.
