New Delhi [India], May 16 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Syed Zafar Islam on Friday took a dig at INDIA bloc after former Finance Minister P Chidambaram expressed concerns over the relevance of the alliance formed by the opposition parties, labelled the INDI alliance as “Ghamandiya (arrogant) alliance” while stating that they had no future.
“Today, the Ghamandiya alliance have realised that they had no future. Congress has also realised the same. In the forthcoming elections, the NDA government will remain and the country will progress,” Islam told reporters while addressing a press conference here.
Suggesting that the objective of the INDI alliance was to “target the government”, he said that the people of the country stand with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose leadership aims to strengthen the country and its citizens.
“The leadership (of the country) only wants to strengthen the nation and its citizens. The leadership aims to pull the poor out of below poverty line. The ‘Ghamandiya’ (arrogant) alliance only had one objective: sarkaar ko katghare main khada karna (to target the government). You can target the government, but not for the reason you want. The people of the country are with Modi,” Islam said.
He further argued that India has emerged as a strong nation as it has managed to kill “enemies” inside its territory. Taking a dig at Chidambaram, Islam said that India has secured fourth position globally since 2014 in terms of economic standing, while during his term as the Finance Minister, the Indian economy ranked at 14th place.
“India has emerged as a strong nation. We have killed our enemies inside their territory by attacking terrorist establishments. India has emerged as a strong nation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has shown political will. However, the INDI alliance is doing politics over this,” Islam said.
“Chidambaram used to talk about the economy earlier, but now remains quiet since he knows that the country’s economy has secured fourth position globally since 2014. When he was the Finance Minister, the Indian economy was ranked at 14th place,” the BJP leader added.
This comes after Chidambaram expressed doubts about the future of the INDIA bloc, saying that it is frayed at the seams. However, he added that the bloc could still be saved with time. (ANI)
