Opposition parties have made repeated jibes at Prime
Minister Modi over his foreign visits. The Congress has even alleged that since
taking power in May, PM Modi has spent only one of every six days in India.
In this background, Kerala Law Review though it fit to
compile a collection of jibes made by Opposition leaders at PM Modi, inside and outside the Parliament. All in good spirit though!
Here is a sampling of the choicest of the lot :
 |
| (Lalu Prasad Yadav) |
"He is not the Prime Minister of the country anymore,
he has become an NRI and the media is portraying that Modi's popularity is
booming abroad when there is trouble at our borders," Lalu Prasad takes a
dig at the PM during his 'rockstar' trip to Australia
 |
| Mallikarjun Kharge |
"It is a privilege that the Prime Minister is present
in the House today", Leader of the Congress Mallikarjun Kharge took a swipe at PM Modi when he was seen in the Lok Sabha today
"Forget bringing back black money from abroad. Please
bring back our PM first," CPM's Sitaram Yechury too chipped in.
Not to be left behind, Trinamool Congress MP Derek
O'Brien had a go at the PM as well : "Please grant a visa to the Prime
Minister of India to come to the Rajya Sabha", he sneered.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu was however
dismissive of the criticism voiced by the opposition parties.
He hit back at the opposition :
"Where is the absence? Does Mamata
Banerjee (Trinamool Congress leader) sit in the assembly from morning to
evening? Some people are saying he's always abroad, when will he be back. Is
this some joke?"
"If
needed the PM will speak, when it's his turn during the question hour he will
be there. The PM is doing his job, the people are happy, only the opposition is
unhappy, what can we do?", Naidu said hinting that except for the Opposition the people were happy with the PM doing his job.

The opposition parties are plainly jealous of PM Modi's sky-high popularity, aren't they? What do you think?
