Congress lambasts Modi ahead of swearing-in ceremony; calls him leader of 'Destructive Alliance'

The Congress criticized Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi before his swearing-in, labeling him the leader of the 'Narendra Destructive Alliance'. Jairam Ramesh claimed that Modi's legitimacy was fabricated alongside a symbolic event from August 15th, 1947. Despite his coalition winning 293 out of 543 seats, Modi faces significant opposition and public rejection.

In a pointed critique ahead of the swearing-in ceremony, the Congress has taken a caustic jab at Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi, accusing him of leading what they have dubbed the 'Narendra Destructive Alliance' (NDA) without genuine legitimacy.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh invoked historical symbolism to criticize Modi, stating, 'Remember May 28th, 2023? It was the day Narendra Modi walked into the new Parliament building with the Sengol. Historical narratives from August 15th, 1947, were distorted to underscore Modi's aspirations of being a sovereign and to appeal to the Tamil electorate.'

Ramesh further claimed, 'The Tamil electorate and indeed India's electorate have rejected Modi's pretensions, leading to his substantial personal, political, and moral defeat,' he stated. Despite the BJP-led coalition securing 293 out of 543 seats in the recent polls, Modi's legitimacy remains hotly contested.
