Congress has become party of brothers, sisters and mothers: Union Minister JP Nadda

Bilaspur (Himachal Pradesh) [India], March 6 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party President JP Nadda on Thursday launched an attack on the Himachal Pradesh government and said that the Congress party does not have any kind of principles as the party has become a party of only brothers, sisters and mothers.

Addressing the public meeting organised at Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, the Union Minister questioned the Congress party on whether it could follow the ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel and Subhash Chandra Bose?

"Was Congress able to stand for what Gandhiji and Sardar Patel lived... The party whose president was Subhash Chandra Bose, did the Congress party follow their ideals? Was Congress able to save the reputation of those who sacrificed everything for the freedom struggle? You should keep in mind what kind of mental bankruptcy it has committed ideologically... Today, the Congress party is neither a national party nor an ideological party. It is a party of brother, sister and mother, nothing more than that. You made them sit in Himachal by chance, so they appointed a Chief Minister... When the disaster struck Himachal, did any Congress leader come?" Nadda said.


The BJP National President said that the central government sent money to build houses and roads, but the current Congress government used that money to pay salaries and pensions.

"The one who used to say that Himachal was in their heart,... came to celebrate holidays but at the time of a disaster no one came to wipe your tears. I, Anurag Thakur and Jairam Thakur had the opportunity to come here... We came here thrice and gave you relief worth thousands of crores... It is a different matter that we gave money for building houses and roads, but you (HP government) used it for salaries and pensions... If the government is given in wrong hands, then this is what happens," he said.

Calling the Congress leaders illiterate, Bharatiya Janata Party President JP Nadda took a jibe at the Congress and said that he is the Health Minister, he can fix the eyes but cannot give vision.

"The Congress leaders are the most illiterate of the illiterate. I am the Health Minister and I can fix eyes but cannot give vision," he added.

Continuing the attack on Congress, Nadda said that Congress has become unemployed.

"People all over the world have praised India's economic world, but the Congress people are saying unemployment-unemployment. It is true... Congress has become unemployed. Today we have become the 5th largest economy in the world from the 11th largest economy and are moving towards becoming the 3rd largest economy. But who will explain to the illiterate Congressmen," he said.

The Union Minister also mentioned AIIMS, PGI Satellite Centre, 4 Medical Colleges, Mother and Child Hospital, Cancer Centre, Super Specialty Block in Himachal.
