PM Modi Says 'Parasite' Congress Hurts 'Honest' Dissent Movements

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday claimed there are cracks within the Congress and the wider Opposition ranks over the party's "repeated efforts to launch a failed product", in a not-so-veiled attack on Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, who has been on the streets against the BJP-led NDA government over alleged electoral fraud. Using the word "parjeeevi" or 'parasite' for the main Opposition party, and deploying the term "dimagi (mental) naxals", he said the voices of "honest critics" get lost in the "noise that the Congress creates".
