Narendra Modi says ‘Congress shields urban Naxals’ 

Narendra Modi.

While delivering a speech at a rally in Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, Prime minister Narendra Modi, on Friday, slammed the Congress party and urged to people to give it a “fighting lesson” in the state assembly election and in the 2019 Lok Sabha election.

Attacking the Congress, Modi, on Friday, said, "I urge the people of Bastar to give a fitting lesson to the Congress leaders, who on one hand try to shield ‘urban Naxals’, and in Chhattisgarh speak about freeing the state from Naxal(ite)s.”

Continuing his allegations against the Congress, he said, “Urban Maoists live in airconditioned surroundings, move around in big cars and their children study abroad, but they ruin the lives of our poor adivasi youth here through remote control. Why is Congress supporting these urban Maoists?”

“The Congress always considers the poor, dalits, tribals and the marginalised as their vote bank.  It was Atal Bihari Vajpayee who thought about their welfare and created a tribal affairs ministry,” the prime minister added.
