milyon88 PM Modi Says BJP Belives In 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas'; Slams Congress Over Appeasement And Dynastic Politics

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed the Congress over appeasement and dynastic politics. PM Modi's remarks came while replying to the discussion in the Rajya Sabha on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address.

In a fresh political attack, PM Modi in his Rajya Sabha speech, highlighted that the BJP's model of development was "nation first" while in a reference to the Gandhi Family, he said Congress always believed in the "family first" narrative.

Targeting the Congress party over endorsing dynastic politics, PM Modi said, "Expecting 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' from Congress would be a huge mistake. It is beyond their thinking, and it also doesn't suit their roadmap because the whole party is dedicated only to one family."

PM Modi also stressed that his government had chosen the path of "santushtikaran" (satisfaction) over "tushtikaran" (appeasement).

"The earlier model, especially under the Congress, there was appeasement in everything. This became the crux of its politics. It would give something to small groups and deprive others. At the time of elections, it would give false hope. It ran its politics by fooling people," he said.

India had last defeated nemesis Australia way back in the 1972 Munich Olympics before the playing surface shifted to astroturf.

In a swipe at the Congress, the PM said, "After 2014, India got an alternate model of governance. This model is not focused on appeasement, but on satisfaction."

"I say it with a lot of pride. For five to six decades,peso99 there was no alternative model for the people. After a long time, after 2014, the country got to witness a new model, which is not based on appeasement but 'santushtikaran (satisfaction of all)'," Modi said.

Emphasizing the BJP government's focus on the optimum utilisation of resources, PM Modi said, "We adopted the approach of saturation. The schemes should be delivered 100 percent, no one should be deprived and pushed toward hopelessness. In the past decade, at every level, we have tried to implement 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'. We can now see the impact."

Modi also claimed attempts were being made to spread casteism.

"Attempts are being made to spread the poison of casteism. For three decades, OBC MPs of both Houses from all parties kept demanding a commission for OBCs but it was rejected because, perhaps, it did not suit its politics at that time. We gave constitutional status to this OBC commissionmilyon88," Modi said.
