Modi attacked Manmohan Singh during his speech.
PM Narendra Modi speaking in the Rajya Sabha brutally attacked former PM Manmohan Singh.
PM took jibe at Manmohan Singh and stopped short of saying that whatever ex-PM said about demonetization in Parliament was dictated to him by someone else. He said Manmohan Singh has been intrinsically linked to fate of India's economy for more than three decades, but still the country is languishing behind. Modi said Manmohan Singh has mastered the art of bathing in the bathroom wearing a raincoat, alluding to Congress leader trying to looking for quick fix solution and not cracking down on corrupt people at the right time . Modi's exact quote was, " Bathroom mein raincoat pehne ka nahanna doctor saab jante hai." He later justified his statement saying that Manmohan Singh had spoken about organised loot during his speech and he (Modi) is merely paying back in his own coin. Visibly angry Congress leaders walked-out of the Rajya Sabha post Modi's jibe at ex PM.
Here's how Manmohan Singh has reacted:
An outraged Congress on Wednesday staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha when Prime Minister Narendra Modi trained guns on his predecessor Dr. Manmohan Singh, accusing him of letting corruption run free under his nose but managing to steer clear of any charges.
‘Dr. Manhmohan has played a significant role in the economic system of India. But during the most corrupt regime in the nation, there was not a single corruption charge against him. This art of taking bath wearing a raincoat must be learnt from Manmohan Singh,’ the Prime Minister said, setting off cries of outrage by the Congress.
Immediately the Congress MPs staged a walkout, to which the Prime Minister responded saying that if the Opposition breaches decorum, then they should also have the courage to listen to the response.
Outside the parliament, Manmohan maintained his trademark calm and simply chose not to respond to questions over the Prime Minister's statement.
Yesterday also Prime Minister Modi had trained his guns against the Congress during the Parliament session, by taking a swipe at party vice-president Rahul Gandhi on his ‘earthquakes remark’, by saying that "the earthquake has finally occurred" while referring to February 6 night's tremors in Uttarakhand. "The earthquake finally occurred. I was wondering how it happened. I had heard of the threat long back," the Prime Minister said in the Lok Sabha.
