"Never Learnt How to Live Selfishly"
Modi, in his address, talked about the benefits of micro irrigation, and said that a lot of change can be brought about by adopting “per drop, more crop.”
“We must give importance to living in harmony with nature and not think about short-term gains,” he said, adding that there was a need to reduce the usage of Urea.
The Prime Minister also spoke about how he is never going to let the nation face destruction and that he has never learnt how to live selfishly.
Modi launched a veiled but scathing attack on the Congress over corruption in development funds, asking which was the "hand" that reduced every rupee of government money to 15 paise before it reached the beneficiary, IANS reported.
He also took a dig at the opposition for its criticism of demonetisation aimed at making the economy less dependent on cash, saying even parents limit cash given to their children because it spoils them.
Without naming Rajiv Gandhi, Modi recalled that a former Prime Minister had said that from every rupee sanctioned by the government, only 15 paise reached its beneficiary in a village.
"One of the Prime Ministers had said every rupee is reduced to 15 paise when it reaches a village after getting sanctioned from Delhi. Which 'hand' reduces the rupee?" he asked, in a sarcastic reference to the Congress election symbol.
Modi Attacks Congress Over Chidambaram's J&K Comment
Speaking at Dashamah Soundarya Lahari Parayanotsava Mahasarmapane in Bengaluru on Sunday, 29 October, Prime Minister Narendra Modi questioned Congress’ stand on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir.
Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram’s remark that "when people in Jammu and Kashmir ask for 'azadi', they seek autonomy” hasn’t gone down well with the BJP.
Referring to his statement, the PM asked why the Congress leaders are lending their voices to those who want ‘azadi’ in Kashmir.
He said that the statement made by the Congress leader on Saturday, 28 October, clearly showed how the party felt about surgical strikes and the bravery of the army.
The Congress, which was in power until recently, took a U-turn on matters of national interest, Modi said, adding that the party would have to answer for its leader’s comments.
It seemed that after repeated defeats, the wise leaders in Congress would try and bring the party on the right track, but they are still acting irresponsibly, the PM said, adding that it doesn’t seem like the party wants to learn from its mistakes.
'India Solved the Doklam Issue With Patience'
Talking about India’s strength as a nation, the Prime Minister reminded his audience of the Doklam standoff with China. He said that despite China being a powerful nation, in Doklam, the whole world witnessed how India solved the situation with patience.
