PM Modi Opens Up On Electoral Bonds, His Intervention Amid Russia-Ukraine War, And More

In the run-up to the Lok Sabha Election 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has spoken about electoral bonds, his intervention amid the Russia-Ukraine war, the Ram Temple inauguration, the Santana Dharma row, and more while also hitting out at the Opposition including the Congress and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK).

Speaking to news agency ANI, PM Narendra Modi opened up on electoral bonds and the criticism regarding it saying, “Due to electoral bonds you are getting the trail of the money. Which company gave it? How did they give it? Where did they give it? And that is why I say when they (opposition) will think honestly, everyone will regret it (on the Supreme Court decision to scrap electoral bonds).”

Elabourating on the BJP’s poll promise of ‘One Nation, One Election’, he said, “One nation one election is our commitment…Many people have come on board in the country…Many people have given their suggestions to the committee. Very positive and innovative suggestions have come. The country will benefit a lot if we are able to implement this report”.

PM Modi On His Intervention Amid Russia-Ukraine War, ‘Santana Dharma’ Row, Ram Mandir Inauguration

When asked about this intervention amid the Russia-Ukraine war for the evacuation of Indian nationals, he said, “I have a friendly equation with both Presidents. I told them our Indian youth is stuck and I need your help them (evacuate).”

“The Congress should be asked why they are sitting with those who are spewing venom about Santana Dharma…People’s anger against the DMK is getting diverted towards the BJP in a positive way,” PM Narendra Modi told ANI regarding the ‘Santana Dharma’ row.

On the issue of the Ram Temple, he hit out at the Opposition saying it was a political weapon for them and now it has been built, “the issue has gone out of their hands”.

PM Modi On Opposition Allegations Regarding Central Agencies, EVMs, Swipe At Rahul Gandhi

When asked about the opposition’s allegation that the government is misusing agencies and questions on alleged EVM tampering, he remarked, “In reality, they are trying to come up with a reason for their defeat. So that blame for defeat is not attributed to them directly…”

“Out of these, not a single law (ED, CBI filing cases) was brought by my government, on the contrary, Election Commission reforms were brought by my Government…Those close to the ‘family’ were made Election Commissioners who later got Rajya Sabha seats and ministries…We (BJP) can’t play at that level,” he said in response to the Opposition’s demand for a level playing field.

In an indirect jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, PM Modi commented, “Unfortunately, these days, we see there is no commitment and responsibility towards one word. You must have seen old videos of a leader circulating, where his every thought is contradictory. When people see this, they think that this leader was trying to hoodwink the public. Lately, I heard a politician say “Ek jhatke mein garibi hata dunga (I will eradicate poverty in an instant)”. Those who got a chance to be in power for 5-6 decades, when they say this, the country thinks what is this man saying?”

“I have big plans…kisi ko darne ki zaroorat nahin hai (No one needs to be afraid). My decisions are not made to scare anyone or to diminish anyone. They are made for the overall development of the country,” he told ANI when asked about his remark on what he plans to do after 10 years in governance.
