PM Modi slams Rahul over insults of Raja – Maharajas

Gandhinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the latter’s remarks insulting Raja-Maharajas.

In his speech at a public rally, PM Modi said – You may have heard Congres Shehzada’s fresh remark. He says that Bharat’s Raja and Maharajas were atyachari. They would grab the land of poor people. They would grab it as per their whims.’

‘Congress Shehhzada has insulted great people like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chittoor queen. Their good governance and their patriotism inspire the people even today. Is Shehzada aware of Maisur royal’s contribution?

The PM further said – ‘Congress Shahzada’s remark is deliberate and for politics of appeasement. Shahzada criticized Raja – Maharajas, but he is mum on atrocities committed by Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans, and Badshahs while he abuses and insults Raja Maharajas. Congress doesn’t remember Aurangzeb’s atrocities. 100s of Mandirs were broken. Shehzada allies with Aurangzeb’s admirers. He doesn’t remember those who demolished our pilgrim places, those who killed cows. He didn’t recall those nawabs who played a major role in India’s partition.’

PM asked – ‘can someone imagine whether Benaras Hindu University was possible even without Raja of Benaras? Ahilyabai Holkar rebuilt our places of faith. Baroda Maharaja, Gaekwad state, called Babasaheb Ambedkar to Baroda and sent him abroad.’

PM stated, ‘ Congress Shahzada for vote bank politics gather strength to speak against Raja Maharaja, but he can’t speak against Nawabs, Badshahs, Sultan. This appeasement mentality is now unfolding before countrymen, And this mentality is also visible in Congress’s manifesto.’

It’s worth noting that in his speech at Bellary, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had stated that Raja – Maharajas would grab land as per their wish. DeshGujarat
