Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing them of deliberately spreading “aarthik aarajkta” (economic unrest) across the country.

During his Motion of Thanks to the President’s address, PM Modi said, “The Congress is conspiring calculatively to spread aarthik aarajkta (economic unrest) in the country. During the time of elections, the promises that they made and the economic steps that they are taking in the states governed by them, it is paving the way to take the country towards economic unrest”.

“They are consciously conspiring so that their states become an economic burden on the country,” he added.

He pointed out that the party is currently in power in Telangana and Karnataka, and is a coalition partner in Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand.

The Prime Minister also accused the Congress of threatening to incite unrest if electoral results didn’t align with their expectations. “They clearly announced during their electoral campaigns that if the electoral results do not come as per their wish, they will create unrest in the country. They announced that people will assemble and spread unrest. Spreading unrest is their motto,” PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister said that the Congress has been creating misunderstanding among people during the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

“They tried to create unrest by questioning India’s electoral process. They spread unrest about CAA, and tried to create misunderstanding among people and the entire ecosystem strengthened them so that their political goals are fulfilled. The country has also seen how they instigated the country to get involved in riots,” PM Modi said.
