\"PMPM Modi Saturday lashed out at critics questioning positive developments in the country NEW DELHI: PM Modi Saturday lashed out at critics questioning positive developments in the country, including the robust growth in GDP, on his govt\u2019s watch as congenital pessimists and fault-finders, asserting the \u201cpower of truth\u201d will eventually overwhelm the \u201ccampaign of lies\u201d.With the economy racking up a series of positives, including the quarterly GDP growth of an impressive 7.8% and Japan Credit Rating Agency upgrading India, PM said, \u201cThose who have pushed it into the bracket of fragile five cannot digest this.\u201dHe added, \u201cThey are like the perennially disgruntled uncle in the family who faults everything good and for whom the glass is never full.\u201d Modi used the colloquial \u201cnaraaz fufa\u201d in an oblique reference to Congress and others who have questioned the veracity of the growth numbers.Speaking at the centenary celebrations of Shri Ram College of Commerce, he emphasised that those raising questions are precisely the same set who opposed each of his policy initiatives \u2014 from Jan Dhan Yojana for financial inclusion to the Make-in-India push.He also pointed out that India clocked impressive growth despite challenges of the wars in West Asia and Europe and geopolitical factors, which had led detractors to prematurely celebrate his downfall.\"file<\/p>\n

PM targets Cong, says truth will prevail over liesThe PM added that his opponents did not factor in the blessings of people which have always helped him tackle crises.Though he did not take names, he primarily had Congress in the crosshairs, with a reference to BJP\u2019s \u201cJhooth Ki Goonj\u201d campaign against Rahul Gandhi\u2019s \u201cChhatron Ki Goonj\u201d. \u201c\u2018Satya ki Hoonkar\u2019 (power of truth) will prevail against \u2018Jhooth Ki Goonj\u2019 (campaign of lies),\u201d said Modi.With his \u201cdimagi Naxal\u201d swipe during his Independence Day address continuing to elicit strong reactions from his critics, he doubled down on his barb. \u201cI gave homeopathic pills in the form of \u2018dimagi Naxal\u2019 and all the \u2018dimagi Naxals\u2019 came crawling out. People are seeing the true colours of those abetting this disease,\u201d the PM said.<\/p>\n

Share Opinion<\/a>The speech was marked by the PM making an effort to connect with Gen Z. His use of \u2018OG\u2019 resonated with students as Modi talked about UPA govt. \u201cThese people draw pleasure from the common and poor citizens of the country running around them. They operated through this \u2018mai-baap\u2019 culture for decades. But Modi is standing like a rock in front of them,\u201d he said.It was in SRCC that Modi had delivered his speech in Feb 2013, which had virtually launched his prime ministerial campaign months before BJP named him as its choice. That speech had in a way generated a wave, Modi said, noting that he had then chosen to lay out his vision. \u201cThe country is now more secure socially and economically,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PM Modi Saturday lashed out at critics questioning positive developments in the country NEW DELHI: PM Modi Saturday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591962,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[251,138,219,291614,8709,2344,94477,8707,8708,291615,22790,111,139,69,291613,787],"class_list":["post-591961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-breaking-news","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-fragile-5-india","tag-google-news","tag-india","tag-india-economic-growth","tag-india-news","tag-india-news-today","tag-japan-credit-rating-agency","tag-make-in-india","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-pm-modi-gdp-growth","tag-today-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
