Rs 20,000,000,000,000 Scam Guaranteed: PM Modi Jabs Opposition Meet

Prime Minister Narendra Modi came down heavily on Opposition parties that attended the meeting hosted by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on June 23 at his Patna residence.

"Nowadays, the new word is being popularised and the word is 'guarantee', the prime minister said.

"A few days ago, a photo op program was organized by them (Opposition). When you see the photo, you will realise that every person in the photo is a guarantee of Rs 20 lakh crore (20,000 billion) scam. Congress alone has carried out scams of lakhs of crores," said PM Modi while addressing BJP workers in Madhya Pradesh.

"Those (opposition leaders) who used to curse and abuse each other are now touching each other's feet, such is the level of their restlessness," he said.

"The anxiety among the opposition parties is making it evident that the people have decided to bring the BJP to power in 2024. A massive victory for the BJP is certain in 2024. This is the reason why these opposition parties are freaking out," PM Modi added.

"These Opposition parties are a guarantee of corruption and scams. A few days ago, there was a photo op event of these parties. History of these parties shows that all of them together were involved in scams worth over Rs 20 lakh crore," the prime minister said.

Opposition parties on Friday had resolved to take on the BJP unitedly in 2024 Lok Sabha elections at a crucial meeting here hosted by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, even as fissures emerged with the AAP asserting it would be difficult for it to be part of any such gathering in future till the Congress publicly supports it on the ordinance issue.
