'Quit India': Modi Hits Out At Oppn In Raj Rally
Hindustan Times|July 28, 2023
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday lashed out at the newly created Opposition grouping, the India National Development Inclusive Alliance (INDIA), and said Mahatma Gandhi’s “Quit India” movement against the British was once again needed to create a prosperous country and eradicate corruption, dynastic politics, and appeasement.
'Quit India': Modi Hits Out At Oppn In Raj Rally
Speaking at a function to launch central government projects in Rajasthan’s Sikar town, Modi played on the name of the 26-party alliance and likened it to the East India Company, Students Islamic Movement of India, and Popular Front of India, saying that all of them contained “India” in their names but their motive was to harm the country.

“With the label of INDIA, they want to cover up their old deeds. Had they really cared about India, would they have asked foreigners to interfere in India?” he said, possibly setting the tone for the next general elections and the assembly polls in Rajasthan later this year.

“The way Mahatma Gandhi had said Quit India, today’s slogan is Bhrashtachar (corruption) Quit India, Parivarwad (dynasty politics) Quit India, Tushtikaran (appeasement) Quit India. Quit India will save the country and help our nation develop,” Modi added.

The PM called the Congress — the largest constituent of INDIA — the country’s largest directionless party that had adopted a new ploy of changing their name. “In olden days, if a company’s fraud was exposed, it would try to fool people by changing it name… Congress and its allies are copying such fraud companies. To stop people from remembering the misdeeds of the UPA, they have changed their name from UPA (United Progressive Alliance) to INDIA,” he said.
