The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has responded to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's recent comments about current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, calling them "laughable." Despite no longer being actively involved in politics, it seems that Singh has not lost his tendency to mislead the people of the country.
In a letter addressed to the voters of Punjab prior to the seventh phase of the Lok Sabha elections on June 1, Singh accused Modi of damaging the integrity of public discourse and the office of the prime minister by delivering "hateful speeches" during his campaign. He also accused Modi of falsely attributing certain statements to him.
In response, BJP's national spokesperson RP Singh took to social media to say, "The nonsensical statements made by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his letter on the last day of the Lok Sabha election campaign are not only laughable, but they are also unbecoming of someone who held the esteemed position of prime minister of the country." It seems that even after stepping away from active politics, Singh cannot resist the urge to mislead the people of the nation.
Singh went on to address Singh's claims about Modi tarnishing the dignity of the prime minister's office, stating, "India's name is currently being recognized globally. We saw a glimpse of this at the G-20 summit last year." However, it is important to remember that during Singh's tenure as prime minister, there were rumors of a "super PM" having significant influence and foreign dignitaries often preferred to meet with this individual instead of Singh himself.
Furthermore, Singh refuted Singh's statement that he never targeted any specific community, stating, "The truth is that it was Manmohan Singh who stated twice that Muslims have the first right to the resources of this country." He also criticized Singh for his comments about the state of the economy during Modi's tenure, reminding him that during his own term, the Indian economy was labelled as "fragile five."
"Today, India is among the top five economies in the world and has seen a three-fold increase compared to Singh's term," Singh stated, highlighting the progress made under Modi's leadership. It is no surprise that India is currently the fastest-growing economy in the world.
Ultimately, the BJP's response to Singh's remarks serves as a reminder that despite his previous position as prime minister, his words should not be taken as fact and that the progress made under Modi's leadership cannot be ignored.
