Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said the INDIA bloc is mulling a one-year prime minister formula as they could not reach any consensus on one prime minister face -- citing news reports. Addressing a public meeting in Madhya Pradesh's Betul, Modi said while he has been working on the first 100-day work after coming to power, the opposition alliance does not even have a PM face. "The country should know who is their PM face. On our side, you have Modi in front of you, with a track report of 10 years. The opposition looked for a PM face, but could not find one. Now some media reports said they are discussing one-year-one PM formula which means five prime ministers in five years. What will happen to the country?" Modi asked.
"This means they are now auctioning the PM's chair. One person will sit in the chair. And four others will wait for his term to end. This sounds like Mungerilal ke haseen sapne (daydreaming) but this is not 'haseen'. This is a very scary proposal which will destroy the country. This will shatter all your dreams," the prime minister said.
Ahead of the second phase of the voting on April 26, the battle has become intense with PM Modi claiming that Congress said in its manifesto that it would "snatch" wealth and redistribute -- which has been dismissed by the Congress.
"In their manifesto, Congress talked about religion-based reservation. Recently, Telangana chief minister has specifically said he would give reservations to Muslims. They can go to any extent to appease their votebank," Modi said.
"Another example of how the Congress wants to loot the country has surfaced today. A Congress leader who is also the advisor of the shahzade said inheritance tax should be introduced in India. This means that the Congress would snatch half of the property of your grandparents, and parents. Will you allow that?" Modi said.
