Manipur violence: PM Modi's ideology has burned the state, says Rahul Gandhi
PTC News Desk: In the midst of the unrest in Manipur, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is aware that the BJP's ideology has set fire to the northeastern state.
The Congress leader further stated that PM Modi had nothing to do with the state's violence because he is just the Prime Minister of a few people. Rahul Gandhi stated in a video message released on Twitter by the Indian National Congress, "What is Prime Minister Narendra Modi doing for Manipur? Why is he not saying anything about Manipur? It is because Narendra Modi has nothing to do with Manipur. He knows that his own ideology has burned Manipur.”
Rahul Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not visiting the northeastern state, saying, "Have you seen what happened in Manipur? And what is going on? You would be startled to learn that the Prime Minister has not said a word about Manipur. You would have thought that when a state of the country is burning, the Prime Minister of the country would say something. Many of you would have thought that the Prime Minister of the country would go to Imphal to at least talk to the people.”
"Any previous Prime Minister, particularly one from the Congress party, would have been present." But you'll be shocked to learn why Prime Minister Narendra Modi isn't going to Manipur. Why is he not speaking of Manipur? Because Narendra Modi Ji is the Prime Minister of selected people, he is also the Prime Minister of the RSS. He has nothing to do with Manipur. He knows that his ideology has burnt Manipur."
"But the sorrow in Manipur, the pain, the injury to women—Narendra Modi Ji does not care about it,” Rahul Gandhi added.
Rahul accused the BJP-RSS of focusing solely on gaining power, saying, "There is an ideological war going on between the RSS-BJP and the Congress. While the idea of the Congress is to safeguard the Constitution, unite the country, and fight social inequality, the RSS-BJP wants a few handpicked people to manage the country and control all of the country's wealth."
"BJP-RSS only wants power and can do anything to get power. For power, they will burn Manipur, they will burn the whole country. They don't care about the sorrow and pain of the country."
