Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh strongly criticised the Prime Minister’s announcement, accusing him of avoiding a direct discussion on the issue in Parliament.
In a post on X, Ramesh said PM Modi “does not have the courage” to stand in Parliament and participate in a serious debate, unlike previous prime ministers who addressed major national concerns in the House.
He claimed that the social media post reflected pressure on the government rather than confidence.
According to Ramesh, the Prime Minister appeared “shaken and rattled” by the concerns being raised by students during the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protests at Jantar Mantar and other demonstrations taking place across the country.
He also used the slogan, “Vote Chori, Seat Chori, Chanda Chori, Exam Paper Chori… the list goes on and on,” while attacking government over multiple issues.
