Sonia Gandhi Criticizes Prime Minister Modi in Editorial
Sonia Gandhi, the Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party and a Rajya Sabha MP, recently voiced her strong opinions on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government in an editorial column for The Hindu. In her scathing critique, she highlighted issues such as the NEET-UG paper leak and ethnic violence in Manipur, accusing the Prime Minister of prioritizing confrontation over consensus.
Gandhi specifically called out PM Modi’s silence on the NEET-UG paper leak, stating, “The Prime Minister, who conducts ‘Pariksha pe Charcha,’ has remained conspicuously silent on the leaks that have caused distress to numerous families across the nation.”
Mallikarjun Kharge, the Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition and party president, shared Gandhi’s article on social media, emphasizing her point that the Prime Minister has not acknowledged the electoral outcome or the message conveyed by voters.
She also addressed the controversial topic of the Emergency imposed in 1975, asserting that the subsequent electoral results clearly reflected the public’s response to that historical event.
Furthermore, Sonia Gandhi criticized the Centre for its contentious behavior during the first parliamentary session after the 2024 general elections, particularly regarding the deputy speaker post and the NEET issue. She expressed disappointment in the government’s handling of these matters, highlighting the absence of a Deputy Speaker in the previous Lok Sabha.
In conclusion, Gandhi reiterated her condemnation of PM Modi’s approach, stating, “The Prime Minister continues to prioritize confrontation over consensus, disregarding the need for meaningful dialogue and mutual understanding.”
It is evident that Sonia Gandhi’s editorial serves as a poignant reminder of the current political climate in India, urging for a shift towards collaborative decision-making and inclusive governance.
