Chirag Paswan Criticizes Congress, Says Party Living in 'Hawa Mahal'

Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Sunday took a dig at the Congress, saying the party can regain its lost faith in the people by atonement for its "mistakes". He said that the Congress is living in its own 'Hawa Mahal'. "The Congress can regain its lost faith in the people by atonement for its mistakes... Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in the Lok Sabha during the debate on the 75-year journey of the Indian Constitution, he said, "The Congress is living in its 'Hawa Mahal', where they feel whatever they say, The same is true.

The result of the mistakes they have made is that today it has become difficult for them to win even 150 seats. Meanwhile, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in Parliament on Sunday, saying he should focus on the challenges of the present instead of quoting Jawaharlal Nehru to divert attention from his failures.

Ramesh alleged that Modi is "obsessed" with Nehru, who is using him to divert attention from current issues. He questioned why the Prime Minister did not discuss important issues such as the situation on the India-China border, communal tensions and farmers' protests, and termed it as an election speech.

"The PM keeps insulting Jawaharlal Nehru to hide his shortcomings... Whenever PM Modi speaks in Parliament, he proves that he can never speak the truth even by mistake. Yesterday, he lied a lot and he is a master of reshaping history. He talked about Emergency, is there no undeclared Emergency today? There is an atmosphere of fear, politics of threats... The speech given in the Lok Sabha yesterday was an election speech... He is silent on Adani, farmers' protests and communal tension in the state.

They gave a clean chit to China in 2020," he said. On the completion of 75 years of the Constitution, the Prime Minister had launched a scathing attack on the Congress on Saturday, saying "a family of Congress left no stone unturned to attack the Constitution". PM Modi had also said that when India was celebrating the completion of 25 years of the Constitution, it was "demolished" and Emergency was imposed. A two-day special debate on the 75th anniversary of the Constitution concluded in the Lok Sabha on Saturday.
