Congress worried about Modi appreciated in State Assembly

Congress versus Narendra Modi is taking a bizarre turn every time the PM is praised anywhere in the world. Leaving no stone unturned to blame PM Modi for the growing intolerance in the country, Congress is hell bent on slowing down the juggernaut that he seems to be riding on. The Hindi News Online took notice of how opposition is uncomfortable with Modi’s growing popularity, especially when the Bihar Election results are yet to be announced.

Recently, Modi was congratulated in the Madhya Pradesh Legilstaive Assembly for his dramatic entry into the Forbes list of World’s most powerful persons in the world. When the whole assembly, dominated by BJP leaders, congratulated the PM for his achievement, the Congress raised question on the need to praise him.

Why Modi was congratulated in MP Assembly-


Narendra Modi is the PM of the country and belongs to the same party that rules in Madhya Pradesh. As per the recently announced list by Forbes, he ranked 9th in the list of Most powerful Political leaders in the World. He ranked 15th last year in the same list.

The political news in Hindi was buzzing with this latest development of Modi’s comparison with global leaders in 2015. MP Kailash Vijayvarigya announced in the Assembly that “Modi is the crowning glory in the country of 1.25 billion people.” It is an achievement for every Indian and Modi is the leader of the country. When Congress raised questioned the need to congratulate him in the Assembly, the House Speaker said that it is the tradition of the House. The Speaker said, “There is no violation of any rule. We only congratulated the PM of the country!” What could be bizarre than this where Opposition fails to acknowledge the authentic list released by a prominent business-political journal.

Why congress is quoting it as squalid propaganda-


Congress is evidently disappointed with the international development and the kind of attention showered on Modi. The last PM from Congress, Manmouah Singh was hardly an international figure to reckon with. More so, he had a rather sordid tenure in the UPA II, tarnished by corruption charges, sycophancy and poor economic strategy.  Modi has done a good job so far as a PM.

Congress MP Bala Bachan raised eyebrows in the Assembly and asked on what grounds is Modi praised in the house! It is certain that the Congress thinks that the BJP is resorting to cheap publicity ahead of the Bihar poll results to influence voters. Political experts say there is nothing wrong with the appreciation on the floor of a State house.

Brushing shoulder with the Powerful-

He is sharing prominence with leading names in the world. In the 2015 Forbes list, Russian President Vladimir Putin is Number One followed by German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. US President slipped a spot behind to end the year at Number 3. Biggies like Chinese Premier XI Jinping and UK Prime Minister James Cameron also lost significant places in the list. Pope Francis is 4th while Bill Gates is ranked at 6th. It is a remarkable list to share names with. PM Modi is definitely in the right list!
