Modi is talking and walking in opposite direction: Left

New Delhi: Left parties on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “talking and walking in opposite direction”, saying he continued to suffer from the “hangover” of his election speeches and went on with his rhetoric. In editorials appearing in the forthcoming issues of CPI organ ‘People’s Democracy’ and CPI’s ‘New Age’, the parties also spoke of the “dangerous” trend in escalation of communal polarisation, saying even though Modi spoke of a ten year moratorium on communal and caste conflicts, “his die-hard supporters are bent upon raising all divisive issues”. While Modi continued with “the rhetoric of talking, walking in the opposite direction, the most diabolic and dangerous walk of the worst form of vote bank politics, of communal polarisation, has begun,” the CPI leader said. “The RSS-BJP has all along and even today continued to use the so-called liberation from ‘Babar ke aulad’ as the true freedom of our country.” In the first war of Independence in 1857, the valiant Rani of Jhansi, Lakshmibai, a devout Hindu, and leaders like Tantia Tope had proclaimed Mughal emperor Bahadurshah Zafar as the sovereign of India, independent from the British.
