NAGPUR/NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Saturday amplified his attack on Congress for allegedly implementing the agenda of " urban Naxals " to divide the country as he built upon BJP's attack on the party over the recent arrest of one of its functionaries in the largest-ever cocaine haul.
Addressing a meeting at Washim in Maharashtra, Modi said Congress has been taken over by a "gang of urban Naxals" who want to execute their agenda by dividing people, as he appealed to people to foil the divisive agenda.
"Drugs worth thousands of crores were seized recently in Delhi. A Congress leader is suspected to be the kingpin. Congress wants to contest elections from the money it gets by pushing youth into drugs," he said, referring to the arrest of Tushar Goel in connection with the cocaine haul. Goel was the head of Congress's RTI cell until 2022. Congress has rebutted the charge saying Goel was expelled for anti-party activities.
Earlier, the PM unveiled several key initiatives worth Rs 23,300 crore for agriculture and animal husbandry sectors. He disbursed the 18th instalment of PM-KISAN Samman Nidhi, worth Rs 20,000 crore, benefiting 9.4 crore farmers. He launched the fifth instalment of NaMo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi Yojana, releasing Rs 2,000 crore. Modi also dedicated 7,500 projects under the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund worth Rs 1,920 crore. He introduced the Unified Genomic Chip for cattle and indigenous sex-sorted semen technology, alongside solar parks with a total capacity of 19 MW. Modi also inaugurated the Banjara Virasat Museum, highlighting the Banjara community's significant contributions to India's social and spiritual life.
