Lok Sabha Elections 2019 : Rahul Gandhi Gives Prime Minister’s Office A New Name ‘Publicity Minister’s Office ‘
In what is seen as the most hard- hitting attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi has targeted the PMO. While interacting with the students of Manipur State Film Development Society, Manipur, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has relegated the PMO to a “Publicity Minister’s Office” by indulging in “mediocrity” in a highly sophisticated country.
The Prime Minister’s Office is now Publicity Minister’s Office,” Gandhi told the students. He said the Congress doesn’t believe in “cultural imperialism” and it is of the view that one part of the country should not rule other parts as each state has its own voice which should be respected.
However, this was not the case with the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre.
“Every part of the country should be allowed to express itself. The BJP-RSS combination wants to impose one idea and crush other ideas. Their heavy-handedness is seen whenever there are protests,” he said.
