Lok Sabha elections 2024: PM Modi takes a dig at Congress, claims party puts itself before Lord Ram

The Election Commission of India (ECI) is examining a complaint against Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his 'infiltrators' remark that some viewed as anti-Muslim, India Today reported quoting sources. The PM, who is seeking a third consecutive term in office, is also facing allegations of spreading misinformation and misquoting former PM Manmohan Singh. The ECI source said the complaint is under consideration. Earlier, the commission had officially declined to comment on the matter.

The PM, during a rally in Rajasthan's Banswara on April 21, claimed that Congress&nbsp;party’s manifesto says they will calculate the gold with mothers and sisters, get information about it and then distribute that property.

“They will distribute it to whom - Manmohan Singh's government had said that Muslims have the first right on the country's assets," the PM said.

Election Commission ‘examining’ PM Modi’s ‘infiltrators’ remark: Report

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (Apr 21) took a swipe at the Congress stating that the grand old party, which has in the past won 400 seats, is at present not even in a condition to contest from 300 seats in the Lok Sabha polls.

He further called the party a "symbol of instability."

While addressing a public rally in Rajasthan's Jalore, PM Modi said that the people of the country are punishing the Congress for its "sins".

"You have given your blessings to BJP every time, this time too, the people of Jalore-Sirohi are saying 'Phir ek baar Modi sarkar'. In the first phase of polling for the Lok Sabha elections, half of Rajasthan has taught a good lesson to the Congress party. The patriotic people of Rajasthan know that Congress couldn't provide a strong government in the Centre. Their government used to run on remote control. The country does not want the conditions that existed before 2014 to return again," the Indian prime minister said.

He then, further making an apparent reference to Sonia Gandhi, said that some opposition leaders left the Lok Sabha and moved to the Rajya Sabha as they had no courage to contest elections.

"The Congress party itself is responsible for the condition it has reached today. Earlier, Rajasthan sent former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Rajya Sabha, and now you have another leader of Congress in Rajya Sabha (Sonia Gandhi). People who knew that they could not win ran away from the race and reached Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan. Congress hollowed the country by spreading the termites of 'parivaarwad' and corruption. The youth of the country is so angry with Congress that it doesn't want to see their face again," the PM said.

Calling the Congress party a symbol of instability, he said that its alliance will never be able to run the country properly.

"Congress was in power for 60 years; once they used to win 400 seats, but today they can't even find candidates for 300 seats. They are paying the price of their wrongdoing. Now they have made an opportunistic alliance in the name of the INDIA bloc which got its wings clipped before it could take flight. The so-called allies are contesting against each other in the states and at least in 25 per cent of seats," PM Modi said.&nbsp;

<h2>'Numbers needed to stop BJP are there,' says Mallikarjun Kharge</h2>

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, reacting to PM Modi's remarks where he alleged that the party was incapable of contesting on 300 seats in the Lok Sabha elections, asserted that the numbers required to dethrone BJP are with them.

"Let him (PM Modi) speak whatever he wants to. I am not here to answer his questions. The number needed to stop them (BJP) are there with us," Kharge told news agency ANI.

The Indian elections are just four days away and preparations are in full swing. In an interview with ANI, PM Modi spoke on his vision for a developed India. Watch in for more details!

Lok Sabha Elections: PM Modi says 'one nation, one election' is BJP's commitment to India

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi rebuffed accusations by the Opposition that there was no 'level playing field' in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls stating that these were mere excuses by the INDIA bloc leaders over their impending defeat.

Refuting assertions made by the opposition regarding misuse of the Enforcement Directorate, PM Modi emphasised that only 3 per cent of its cases were against political people whereas the probe agency seized a much higher amount in the last decade.

"None of the law regarding this was made by my government. Whether it is ED, CBI or Election Commission," the Indian prime minister said in an interview with news agency ANI.

He further highlighted that the BJP-led government also passed a bill that ensures the presence of a Leader of Opposition in the three-member committee to select the three Election Commissioners.

"In fact, we have made improvements in the Election Commission. Today, if the Election Commission is formed, then the opposition is also in it. Earlier, the Prime Minister used to sign a file and form the Election Commission. And those who were close to their families, such people became election commissioners."

He then took a swipe at the Congress party and said, "So our level play cannot happen, we cannot become like that. We want to go on the right path, we don't want to go on the wrong path."

<h2>PM Modi lauds ED</h2>

The prime minister also heaped praises on the Enforcement Directorate saying that since 2014, since he took charge, the federal probe agency had contributed immensely in tackling corruption in the country.

"Before 2014, the ED attached only assets worth Rs 5000 crore. Did anyone stop ED from taking action and who were getting benefitted? In my tenure, assets worth Rs 1 lakh crore have been attached. Is this not the money of the people of the country?" PM asked.

"In the last ten years, we have recovered Rs 2200 crore in cash, while ED before 2014, could only recover Rs 34 lakh cash which can be carried in a school bag. While 70 small trucks (chhota haathi) will be needed to keep Rs 2200 crore. It means that the ED is doing a good job," he added.

His remarks come as the INDIA bloc has repeatedly accused the ruling BJP of misusing the central probe agencies like ED to target the opposition leaders.

PM Modi hits out at Opposition over ‘level playing field’ in Lok Sabha elections, heaps praise on ED

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit back at the opposition and accused it of spreading lies around the electoral bonds scheme and said that "everyone will regret it when there is an honest reflection".&nbsp;

In&nbsp;an interview to news agency ANI,&nbsp;PM Modi said that the electoral bonds scheme was launched by his government in a bid to combat the use of unaccounted cash and black money in&nbsp;polls, noting that this was a small plan to achieve the goal and not "the absolute way".

The Supreme Court of India had in a landmark decision in February this year&nbsp;scrapped the electoral bonds.

"There has been a discussion in our country for a long time that (through) black money a dangerous game is there in elections. The play of black money in the country's elections should end, this discussion has been going on for a long time," PM Modi said.

"I wanted that we try something, how can our elections be free from this black money, how can there be transparency? There was a pure thought in my mind. We were looking for a way. We found a small way, we never claimed that this was the absolute way," he added.

<h2>'Opposition is spreading lies'</h2>

He further lashed out at the opposition and accused it of spreading lies stating that out of the 16 companies that gave donations following action by the probe agencies, only 37 per cent of the amount went to BJP and 63 per cent to opposition parties.

"Of these (16 companies) 37 per cent of the amount went to BJP and 63 per cent to opposition parties," PM said.

"There is an ED raid... the donation is made&nbsp;to the opposition, will BJP do this? This means 63 per cent of this amount went to the opposition and you are making allegations against us. Their goal is to keep skirting around and run away," he said.

The Supreme Court in February scrapped the electoral bonds scheme calling it "unconstitutional".

The INDIA opposition bloc leaders have&nbsp;been repeatedly slamming&nbsp;the Union&nbsp;government over the&nbsp;court decision and sharply criticising BJP.

The top court in its decision ordered SBI to stop issuing the electoral bonds.
