Blame game continues on ‘Black day’ as PM addresses the nation

PM Narendra Modi’s obsession with Gandhi family continued as he addressed the nation in Mumbai on Tuesday. Today marks the 45th year of Emergency which BJP remembers as Black day. Modi has been blaming the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for all the problem India is facing now and said the period (1947-1964) Nehru was India’s PM, nothing concrete was done which he has been reiterating for quite some time.

Targeting the Congress, The PM went to the extent of saying Nehru was an inefficient leader who looted the country and Nehru and Gandhi both are the pioneers of the Congress legacy. Call it a jumla or an error in the speech, which is quite frequent in PM speeches. The constant deflections from real issues are always present. The whole speech was a history lesson of how a Congress family destroyed the country and how BJP is saving us.
