Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath on Thursday came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over unemployment and farm distress.
He also dared him to share the details of the 2016 surgical strike.
The BJP does not remember the 90,000 Pakistani soldiers who surrendered during Indira Gandhi’s tenure. They will not want to hear about that. They claim carrying out a surgical strike. Which surgical strike? When and where was the surgical strike? Tell the country about it clearly,” he said.
“I want to ask you, have you heard Modi ji talking about the youth in the last six-eight months? Did you hear (Prime Minister Modi) talking about farmers?” he was quoted as saying.
The Congress leader further said PM Modi had claimed (before 2014 national election) that once he becomes the Prime Minister, two crore jobs will be created every year.
“Modi ji 2 crore to chhodiye, 2 lakh ka naam bata dijiye (Forget two crore, tell us names of 2 lakh people whom you gave jobs),” he said.
Kamal Nath said Modi keeps talking about nationalism, Pakistan, Hindu-Muslim divide and needless issues like CAA adding that his government would not implement the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Population Register in Madhya Pradesh.
He also launched a fierce attack on former chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for his “blatant lies and hunger for credit”.
The surgical strike had become one of the biggest talking point for the BJP before the national election last year.
“Terrorists attacked Mumbai, what happened after it? In our government, Uri happened, what happened after it? This is the change. The fire that was in the hearts of our jawans, it was in the heart of the PM too, Surgical Strike was the result,” he had said.
