New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday in his severe attack on Congress, he questioned that why none of Congress leaders used the name Nehru instead of Gandhi. If we miss out on mentioning Nehru anywhere, they Congress get upset.

Nehru was such a great person, then why does none of them use the Nehru surname. What is the shame in using the Nehru name, PM Modi questioned in Rajya Sabha, replying to a debate on the President’s speech. Jawaharlal Nehru is the great-grandfather of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, who accused PM Modi of crony capitalism in his speech in parliament on Tuesday amid allegations involving billionaire Gautam Adani’s conglomerate.

PM Modi spoke amid unrelenting probe Adani chants and booing by the opposition over allegations of stock manipulation and accounting fraud in a report by US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research. Modi in his address said that Congress say we keep troubling states, but they have toppled elected state governments 90 times. One Congress PM used Article 356 fifty times to dismiss elected State Governments. That was Indira Gandhi, he added. This country is not the property of any family.

Speaking over the incessant slogan-shouting the lotus will bloom no matter how much mud you throw at us. Opposition members protested at the centre of the house, demanding a Joint Parliamentary Committee investigation into the allegations linked to the Adani Group.
