New Delhi: In a scathing statement released yesterday, Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh heavily criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech, accusing it of being solely focused on self-promotion. Ramesh expressed his disappointment with the lack of attention given to uniting the nation or addressing the pain of the victims.
Ramesh stated, “Instead of uniting the country and realizing the pain of the victims, Prime Minister Modi’s speech by hoisting the national flag at the Red Fort in Delhi has turned into a self-promotion craze.” He further highlighted the abundance of misrepresentations, lies, exaggerations, and vague promises made in the Prime Minister’s address, suggesting that it was an attempt to divert attention from the lack of accomplishments during his nine years in power.
One of the key criticisms raised by Ramesh was the Prime Minister’s failure to mention the ongoing crisis in Manipur, which has been simmering for months. Ramesh pointed out that the Prime Minister did not express regret for the administrative failures of his government in addressing the issue.
Ramesh also disputed the notion that Prime Minister Modi efficiently handled the COVID-19 pandemic. He argued that India suffered tremendously due to inadequate oxygen supplies and the failure to prepare an adequate number of vaccines in a timely manner. Citing data from the World Health Organization, Ramesh claimed that India had the highest number of COVID-19 deaths globally.
Furthermore, Ramesh accused Prime Minister Modi of contributing to rising prices, inflation, and the weakening of social structures in the country. He contended that the development of the nation had been hindered by flawed policies under Modi’s leadership.
As the political landscape continues to evolve in India, it is evident that the Prime Minister’s Independence Day speech has drawn significant criticism. The critiques raised by Jairam Ramesh shed light on the dissatisfaction and concerns of the opposition party regarding Prime Minister Modi’s governance and priorities.
