‘Of the family, by the family, for the family’: PM slams united Opposition front

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Opposition parties and said hardcore corrupts are meeting in Bengaluru today.

PM Modi said the Opposition’s motto is “family first and nation nothing”. In a virtual address after the inauguration of the new integrated terminal building (NITB) of Port Blair airport in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the prime minister said the Opposition is only interested in personal gains.

“Their mantra is – of, by and for family,” PM Modi said, adding the Opposition unites to protect the corrupt among them.

The attack comes at a time top Opposition parties are attending a key meeting in Bengaluru to chalk out a strategy to take on PM Modi and the BJP in the 2024 general elections.

“Ye to kattar bhrashtachari sammelan ho raha hai (it is a gathering of corrupt people),” PM Modi said on the big meet attended by Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi among others.

In his address, the prime minister noted that his government has rectified the mistakes of the old governments.

“In the last 9 years, we have not only rectified the mistakes of the old governments, but have also furnished new facilities and avenues to people. Today, a New Model of Development has been there in India. This is a model of inclusion, a model of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’,” he said.
