PM continues attack on Cong, says Rajiv Gandhi scrapped Inheritance tax to reap benefits
Addressing an election rally at Morena in Madhya Pradesh in the morning the PM launched a barrage of accusations on the Congress.
During the Parliament session today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at the Opposition parties by saying “some people can’t digest Dalits, Women, SC/ST and OBC” as ministers.
The comment by PM Modi came in the backdrop of a rambunctious Parliament session that prevented him from successfully introducing his new cabinet ministers.
“I thought that there would be enthusiasm in the Parliament as so many women, Dalits, tribals have become ministers. This time our colleagues from an agricultural and rural background, OBC community, have been given a berth in Council of Ministers,” the Prime Minister said while he introduced his new Ministers in the lower House.
