In a scathing attack on the Congress in his address in the Lok Sabha, Modi also called it “parjeevi (parasitic)” party and claimed that it ate into the votes of its allies. “The statements of Congress leaders have even surpassed film Sholay. You all would remember Mausi ji from the film. Teesri baar toh haare hain par Mausi ji, moral victory toh hai na (we have lost third time but Mausi ji, it is a moral victory).
“Arey Mausi 13 rajyon mein zero seat aayi hai par hero to hai na (Mausi, we got zero seats in 13 states but I am a hero),” he said. “Party ki lutiya toh duboyi hai, arey Mausi party abhi saansein toh le rahi hai (Have sunk the party but it is still breathing),” Modi said.
His reference was to the iconic comic scene from ‘Sholay’ in which Amitabh Bachchan’s character goes to speak with the ‘mausi’ (aunt) of the character played by Hema Malini. He seeks Malini’s hand for marriage with his friend played by Dharmendra and keeps mentioning the vices of his friend while de-fending them simultaneously, giving hilarious reasons.
In his address, Modi urged the Congress not to suppress the mandate under the garb of “fake victory celebrations”.
“Do not drown the mandate in intoxication of fake victory. Honestly understand and accept the mandate of the people,” he said.
