During the Kisan Maha Chaupal rally held on Tuesday in Bhopal, Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge strongly criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He accused the Prime Minister of compromising the nation’s dignity and failing to address the concerns of farmers and youth.

Speaking to party supporters and farmers present at the event, Kharge emphasized that the integrity of India had been undermined, stating, “On the day you mortgaged our self-respect to Trump, our dignity was lost that very day.” He declared that those who are blaming the Youth Congress for disrespecting the nation were themselves guilty of undermining it.

Support for the Indian Youth Congress

Kharge voiced his support for the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) amid ongoing protests led by its members. He commended the IYC’s leadership and workers for their unwavering stance during their demonstration at the AI Impact Summit. This praise follows the arrest of IYC chief Uday Bhanu Chib, who was placed in police custody for four days, along with seven other party members involved in the protest. Kharge remarked, “We are the ones who save the country. We are the ones who give our lives, and we are never those who take lives. We don’t have any Godse; we have Gandhi. And today, to fight the youth’s battle, we have Rahul Gandhi.”

Concerns Over Youth Unemployment and Agricultural Struggles

Kharge pointed out pressing issues affecting the youth and farmers in India. He stated, “The youth of this country have no jobs; they are on the streets. There’s no food; they are on an empty stomach.” He elaborated that the agricultural sector is suffering significantly, particularly farmers involved in cotton, soybean, oilseed, and pulses. Kharge called for party members to remain steadfast and committed to addressing these critical problems, underscoring the urgent need for action.

Allegations Regarding the Prime Minister’s Conduct

The Congress leader further alleged that Modi resorts to intimidation through his frequent speeches yet remains silent on critical issues facing the nation. Kharge specifically referenced the interim trade agreement between India and the United States, suggesting that the Prime Minister engages in self-congratulation. He stated, “If you were a patriot, you wouldn’t have bowed down while talking to Trump. You wouldn’t have rubbed your nose before him.” Additionally, Kharge criticized Modi for not responding to claims made by US President Trump regarding mediation between India and Pakistan.

Historical Context of Indo-US Relations

Kharge mentioned past statements from Trump, including the assertion that he had halted Operation Sindoor, and expressed discontent over Modi’s lack of a response. He remarked, “Until today, Modi remained silent… Trump himself said, ‘I stopped the Operation Sindoor. Who said this? Trump said it.'” This line of criticism aimed to highlight what Kharge perceives as Modi’s inadequate handling of international relations, particularly in the context of the ongoing challenges faced by the nation.
