Opposition Plotting Against Country: PM Modi In Odisha

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday attacked Congress saying that the party that considered its power as its "birthright" has failed to come to power in the Centre in the last decades.

Addressing his party workers in Odisha capital Bhubaneswar, he targeted the opposition of "plotting" against the country. "I have seen different colours of politics when I was working as CM and PM. In politics, I agree that policy opposition is very natural in politics. There can be different opinions regarding any decision. Political parties also keep organising movements to convey their message to the public," ANI quoted the Prime Minister as saying.

"They also express their views while staying within the limits of democracy and the Constitution....But for the last some time, you all must be feeling a big change. The spirit of the Constitution of India is crushed; all the norms of democracy are rejected. Those who consider power as their birthright have not had power at the Centre for the last decade. Now, they are angry with the people of the country for blessing someone else from the very first day," he added.

He then claimed that the opposition parties are trying to take the country in the wrong direction. He added, "This situation has filled them with so much anger that they are busy plotting against the country. These people have started venting their anger on the public. They have started misleading people to take the country in the wrong direction."

"Their shop of lies and rumours has been running for 50-60 years. Now they have intensified this campaign. In such a situation, for the awakened citizens, for the BJP workers, for those who love the country and who respect the Constitution, the actions, intentions and deeds of such people are becoming a big challenge," PM Modi claimed.

"Therefore, I would like to tell all the countrymen that we have to remain alert at every moment and keep making people aware. We have to expose every lie," he stated.
