New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi came under severe attack in the Congress chief ministers’ meeting on Tuesday as Sonia Gandhi accused him of engaging in a “dangerous duplicitous game” by allowing his colleagues to create an atmosphere of “fear and foreboding” by fomenting “communal polarisation”.
She also charged the government with making “systematic attempts” to dismantle edifice of the welfare state and asked partymen to “strongly oppose” its moves on the land Bill and food security law.
“PM wants to project himself as the great champion of good governance and Constitutional values, while on the other he allows many of his colleagues to make vile statements and foment communal polarisation.
“This has already damaged our secular fabric. An atmosphere of fear and foreboding has been deliberately created,” she said. “In terms of substance, there are systematic attempts being made to dismantle the edifice of the welfare state built up over the decades by successive Congress governments,” she added.
