PM Modi should explain how India has grown since 2014, says TNCC chief Alagiri
The HinduTamil Nadu Congress Committee president K. S. Alagiri, along with the party’s elected representatives and office-bearers protested against what he described as the “stock market manipulation of the Adani Group”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and price rise, in front of Tamil Nadu’s Raj Bhavan near Little Mount in Chennai on Monday. Speaking at the protest, Mr. Alagiri said Mr. Modi should explain where and how India has grown since 2014, and condemned him for stating that Mr. Rahul Gandhi has insulted India’s democratic norms in a foreign country. “Rahul Gandhi is worried that India’s rich democratic norms, nurtured by the Congress, are being weakened by an autocratic leader like Mr. Modi,” he charged, adding that the protest is to strengthen Indian democracy. All India Congress Committee secretary Sirivalla Prasad claimed Mr. Modi has applied the ‘Gujarat Model’ of selling State assets to just one person to the whole of India.
