New Delhi: Opposition parties Tuesday dismissed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Independence Day speech as a “crass election speech filled with distortions, lies, exaggerations and vague promises” and his “farewell” address from the ramparts of the Red Fort.
The Congress said instead of bringing the country together on Independence Day, Modi made it all about himself and his image and not accepting the challenges ahead and celebrating the country’s journey so far.
On Modi’s assertion that he will unfurl the national flag again at Red Fort next year and give a report of his achievements, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said Modi will unfurl the national flag next year but at his residence.
