‘Angoor Khatte Hain’, Says JD(U) MP as Congress Continues Potshots at PM

Amidst ongoing criticism from the Congress party towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) MP Kausalendra Kumar has weighed in with a critique of the Congress’s tactics.

Kumar, in an interview, stated that the Congress is resorting to “fruitless” attacks against Modi, akin to the proverb ‘Angoor khatte hain’ (The grapes are sour). He argued that the party’s constant potshots are motivated by a sense of entitlement and frustration over their declining electoral fortunes.

“The Congress has been unable to come to terms with their loss in the 2014 and 2019 elections,” Kumar said. “Instead of introspecting and offering constructive criticism, they are engaged in a futile campaign of negativity against the prime minister.”

Kumar maintained that Modi’s leadership has brought about significant achievements, including economic progress and infrastructure development. He accused the Congress of being “blind to these accomplishments” and resorting to “petty” attacks to stay relevant.

The Congress has been vocal in its criticism of Modi, particularly over issues such as the economy, unemployment, and the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The party’s leaders have repeatedly accused Modi of being autocratic and indifferent to the concerns of the people.

Kumar’s remarks underscore the growing divide between the Congress and the JD(U), which has traditionally been an ally of the former. The JD(U) broke away from the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in 2017 and joined the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

In conclusion, JD(U) MP Kausalendra Kumar’s comments reflect the increasing polarization in Indian politics, with the Congress and the BJP engaging in a bitter war of words. As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approach, it remains to be seen whether the Congress’s continued criticism of Modi will have any electoral impact or further alienate it from voters.
