Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on Narendra Modi, saying the prime minister believes in purchasing legislators "like goats to feed and feast on them later".
Kharge also accused Modi of oppressing the opposition and toppling elected governments.
“Modi-ji believes in toppling governments. He purchases MLA. Unka kaam MLAs ko bakri ke jaise apne pas rakh lena, palna aur fir baad me kaat kar khana hai (Modi keeps MLAs like goats, feeds them and later feasts on them). This is Modi,” Kharge alleged.
Kharge also targeted Home Minister Amit Shah, saying both Modi and Shah are running the government with “Adani and Ambani”.
“Modi, Shah, Adani and Ambani are running the country, while Rahul Gandhi and I trying to save the Constitution and democracy,” he said.
The Congress leader accused Modi and Shah of unleashing ED, CBI and other central agencies against opposition leaders. “But we are not afraid. We fought for Independence, sacrificed our lives,” said the Congress leader.
Kharge dared Modi to visit Manipur and accused him of supporting those who exploit backward people and women.
“PM Modi is afraid to visit Manipur, I dare him to go there,” he claimed.
Kharge also tore into Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, alleging that he believes in Mukh me Ram, bagal me chhuri (A wolf in lamb's clothing).
“A true Yogi cannot use language like batenge toh katenge' (if divided, we will be wiped out). This language is used by terrorists. Yogi is head of a mutt, wears saffron robes, but believes in mukh me Ram bagal me chhuri',” he said.
