Rahul Gandhi has insulted the great kings and queens of India like Shivaji Maharaj and Kittur Chennamma, Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned in Belagavi on Sunday, April 28. He was talking at a marketing campaign rally for BJP candidates Jagadish Shettar and Anna Saheb Jolle.
“The Congress prince has said that the Rajas and Maharajas of the past were brutal rules who snatched the properties of the common people. He said that they routinely exploited their subjects. What does this mean? It only means that he has insulted great kings like Shivaji Maharaj and Queens like Kittur Chennamma,’‘ the prime minister said, in a reference to Rahul Gandhi.
“I want to ask the prince, you insult and criticise kings and queens, but you do not speak of the atrocities committed by Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans and Badshahs, over several centuries. Is that because you do not know about the contribution of the kings and queens, or is it because you want to indulge in appeasement politics?’‘ he asked.
“Does the Shehzada know about the contribution of the benevolent Kings of Mysore? The good governance and patriotism of kings and queens is historical and inspiring. Banaras Hindu University would not be built without the support of the King of Banaras. It was Queen Ahalyabai Holkar who reconstructed temples. It was the King of Baroda who recognised the talent of Dr B.R. Ambedkar and invited him to his court. The King sent him to foreign countries for higher studies. Does the Congress Prince know any of this?” Mr. Modi mentioned.
“He appears to have the braveness to talk solely in opposition to kings, however not the Sultans and Nawabs. Does he know that the Nawabs conspired in dividing the nation? His lips are sealed in the case of such rulers,’‘ the PM said.
Congress leaders do not seem to remember the atrocities committed by Aurangzeb. They are aligning with parties that keep praising Aurangzeb. They do not criticise Sultans who were destroying temples and engaging in cow slaughter.
PM attacks Congress’ ‘appeasement politics’
Congress leaders are led by their appeasement insurance policies. Such insurance policies are mirrored not solely in their governance, but additionally their illustration of historical past. All that’s as a result of of vote financial institution politics. That is why they’ve a skewed imaginative and prescient, the PM mentioned.
Unlike the Congress, we’re impressed by Kittur Rani Chennamma. The NDA authorities has opened varied wings of the military for girls. It has allowed lady college students in Sainik colleges. There is a Sainik faculty named after Sangolli Rayanna in Belagavi. The quantity of ladies in central police forces has doubled, he mentioned.
Candidates Mr. Shettar and Mr. Jolle, MPs Iranna Kadadi and Mangala Angadi, former MP Prabhakar Kore, MLAs, occasion leaders from Belagavi and Chikkodi and others had been current.
