'Absolute falsehood, brazen mendacity': P Chidambaram slams PM Modi over 'redistribution of wealth' remark
Modi over his «redistribution of wealth» remark, Congress leader P Chidambaram on Monday said he cannot recall that any other PM had made such «outrageous statements» with each sentence outdoing the previous one in its «absolute falsehood and brazen mendacity». Chidambaram's attack came a day after Prime Minister Modi said that if the Congress came to power, it would redistribute the wealth of people to «infiltrators» and «those who have more children», and cited former PM Manmohan Singh's remark that the minority community had the first claim on the country's resources. In a post on X, Chidambaram said, «I cannot recall that any other prime minister had made such outrageous statements like PM Modi did at Jalore & Banswara in Rajasthan yesterday. Each sentence outdid the previous sentence in its absolute falsehood and brazen mendacity.»
«Will the BJP tell the world: when and where did the Congress say that we will distribute people's land, gold and other valuables among Muslims? When and where did the Congress say that a survey will be conducted to value the property of individuals, gold held by women and silver owned by tribal families?» the former Union minister said.
When and where did the Congress say that land and cash belonging to government employees will also be distributed, he asked.
