The Congress on Tuesday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi sounded very autocratic and arrogant during his speech in Parliament which was deprived of his Government's vision. It also accused him of mocking the tragic earthquake in Uttarakhand. Modi during his speech in Parliament took a jibe at Rahul, saying "the earthquake has finally occurred" while referring to last night's tremors in the State.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi accused the Prime Minister of mocking the tragedy of Uttarakhand earthquake and insulting the freedom struggle, but not answering opposition's questions on demonetisation. He also took a dig at Modi over his surgery remarks on economy, saying "a quack endangers life".
"The Prime Minister mocks the tragedy of Uttarakhand and insults the freedom struggle but has no answers to the opposition's questions," Rahul tweeted. Rahul had in December last said he possessed certain material against the Prime Minister, and if he spoke in Parliament, there would be an "earthquake".
Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech in the lok Sabha as "arrogant", Congress said the PM lost a "good" opportunity to present his vision and what he and his party stood for. Congress leader Veerappa Moily said, "This was quite an arrogant reply. This was the last opportunity for him because next budget and President's address will be before the next lok Sabha election."
