Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh sharply criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks ahead of the commencement of the 18th Lok Sabha, accusing him of offering nothing new and resorting to diversionary tactics. Ramesh stated that PM Modi failed to grasp the true meaning of the people’s verdict, highlighting what he described as a narrow and questionable victory in Varanasi.
He emphasized the INDIA Janbandhan’s commitment to holding PM Modi accountable for every moment of his tenure, asserting that he stands exposed amid public scrutiny. Ramesh’s comments underscored a contentious start to the new parliamentary session, contrasting Modi’s call for a responsible opposition with Congress’s assertion of Modi’s lack of substantive engagement with critical issues facing the nation.
