Modi attacks Sonia, Centre on advisory to Karnataka
âThe statement issued by the Government of India to Karnataka and Orissa is a part of votebank politics. Madam ko 355 candles ki aarti utaari gayi hai (It is an act to please Madam)â, he said in an obvious reference to Gandhi.
Modi also said the Centreâs action was an attempt to target non-Congress governments and deflect attention from the âsimmering anger across the country against terrorism.â
âThe Centre has used this political weapon in an attempt to save itself from the simmering anger across the country against terrorism,â he told reporters on the sidelines of an orientation programme on climate change.
Modi was replying to questions on reports that the Centre was planning to send advisories under Article 355 of the Constitution to Karntaka and Orissa. The advisory sent to Karnataka today was not issued under Article 355.
âI want to ask the Centre why it did not use Article 355 when Hindi-speaking people were massacred in Assam. Why did the Centre did not use Article 355 when blood continued to be spilled in Nandigram for months and why it never thought of using 355 in Jammu Kashmir where lot of terror attacks take place,â he said.
