More Congress’ lies and hate increases, the more people will support PM Modi! said BJP National President JP Nadda
JP Nadda – National President, BJP:
Combination of despondency and shamelessness is dangerous. Congress possesses both.
Empty rhetoric of decency and democracy by the Mother is ‘complemented’ by live demonstrations of politics of hate, anger, lies and aggression by the Son. Double standards galore!
The Rahul Gandhi-directed drama of burning PM’s effigy in Punjab is shameful but not unexpected. After all, the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty has NEVER respected the office of the PM. This was seen in the institutional weakening of the PM’s authority during the UPA years of 2004-2014.
If there is one party whose conduct reeks of disgust, it is Congress. Atrocities against SC/ST communities are at an all time high in Rajasthan, women are unsafe in Rajasthan as well as Punjab, and their Punjab Ministers are committing scholarships scams.
Congress can never pontificate to others. They have contempt for dissenting voices for decades. We saw glimpses of it during the Emergency.
Later on, the Rajiv Gandhi government made a brazen attempt to weaken press freedom. A free press rattles Congress.
If anyone wants to see a laboratory of usage of brute state power, troubling opponents, curbing freedom of speech in trademark Congress style, see the working of the Congress blessed Maharashtra Government. Except governing, they are doing everything else.
One dynasty’s deep personal hatred against a person who was born in poverty and became PM is historic.
Equally historic is the love people of India have showered upon PM Narendra Modi. More Congress’ lies and hate increases, the more people will support PM Modi!

PM Narendra Modi’s address to the nation – Excerpts via MyGovIndia:
In the fight against Corona, people of India have come a long way from Janta curfew till today
Economic activities are also increasing rapidly over time. Most of us are stepping out of our homes everyday to fulfill our responsibilities. This season of festivals is also slowly returning to the markets
We should not forget that even though the lockdown is gone, the virus is not gone yet
Today the recovery rate in the country is good, Fatality Rate is low. India is succeeding in saving the lives of more and more of its citizens than the resource-rich countries of the world
The growing number of tests has been a major strength in the fight against the COVID pandemic
Our doctors, nurses, health workers are selflessly serving such a large population. Amidst all these efforts, this is not the time to be careless. This is not the time to assume that the virus is gone, or there is no danger from corona anymore
If you are negligent, coming out without a mask, you are putting yourself, your family, your children, the elderly in your family at risk
Until success is achieved, do not be negligent. Until the vaccine of this pandemic comes out, we shouldn’t let our fight against Corona weaken
After many years, we are seeing that work is being done on a war footing to save humanity. Many countries are working for this. Scientists of our country are also working hard for vaccine
Several corona vaccines are currently under testing in India. Some of these are on advanced stage
The government is preparing for how to reach every Indian as soon as possible whenever the Vaccine comes

Dharmendra Pradhan – Union Minister:
Happy to inaugurate a commercial HCNG production plant and dispensing station in Delhi today.
This is a momentous occasion and a historic development in our efforts of combating vehicular pollution and finding green pathways for a sustainable future.
I am glad that Indian Oil has once again risen to the occasion and has developed an innovative & compact reforming technology for production of 4 tonnes per day hydrogen-mixed CNG.
Also, compliment IGL Social for setting up a dispensing station to refuel HCNG from this station.
We are working assiduously to make our cities pollution-free and also ensure greater quality of life for our citizens.
More than 4 lakh crore investment is already underway to transform India into a gas-based economy.
GOI under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi ji is committed to usher in a clean energy future that has minimal impact on the environment.
The steps taken today, including trial of HCNG on 50 buses will be a major breakthrough in India’s journey towards hydrogen economy.
Providing clean and reliable energy supplies to meet the needs of 130 crore plus Indians is the top most priority of the Government.
I am sure that India will emerge as a winner in developing solutions the world would admire for the decades ahead.

P Chidambaram – Former Union Finance Minister:
Congratulations to Soyeb Aftab and Akanksha Singh on being toppers in NEET, 2000
Orissa and Delhi are distant and different. Soyeb is a boy and Akanksha is a girl. Their cultural backgrounds are different. Yet they have scored perfect scores and achieved excellence
Diversity and pluralism are the beauty and strength of India. This generation’s duty is to ensure equality among all
P Chidambaram – Former Union Finance Minister:
The coming together of mainstream regional parties of J&K to fight a constitutional battle to restore the rights of the people of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh is a development that must be welcomed by all the people of India
The Congress also resolutely stands for restoration of the status and rights of the people of J&K
The arbitrary and unconstitutional decisions of the Modi government of August 5, 2019 must be rescinded
The central government must stop looking at the mainstream parties and the people of J&K as secessionist or anti-national.
Prof M S Swaminathan, agriculture scientist:
Shri Jawaharlal Nehru used to say “Everything else can wait, but not agriculture”.
Mahatma Gandhi also used to emphasise that without food & safe drinking water our life cannot get fulfilled.
Today, we have nearly moved from a hungry stomach to food self-sufficiency based on home-grown food.
There is however no time to relax. We should do everything possible to ensure sustainable food security. This is our privilege.

P Chidambaram – Former Union Finance Minister:
FM has written to the states that the central government will borrow Rs 1,10,208 crore and give back-to-back loans to state governments. I welcomed the change of heart
There is no clarity on the balance of the gap in the GST compensation. FM’s letter puts the number at Rs 1,06,830 crore for this financial year. There is no clarity on who will borrow the money and no clarity on how the debt will be serviced and repaid
States are opposed to borrowing on their own account. States are right. There is no difference between the first amount and the second amount. Centre must resolve the impasse immediately by offering the same terms for Rs 1,06,830 crore as it has now offered for Rs 1,10,208 crore
Having taken the correct first step, I urge the PM and the FM to take the second step also and re-establish the trust between the Centre and the States
Hardeep Singh Puri, Union Minister :
Dubai-based doctor Samer Cheaib shared this photo of a newborn baby ‘trying to remove’ his surgical mask.
