PM visits UAE: Modi attacks previous govts, draws Cong flak
Congress terms PM’s ‘problem in legacy’ remark ‘pathetic lowbrow’.
Masdar/New Delhi Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday once again attacked previous governments on foreign soil, evoking a sharp reaction from the Congress which termed his ‘pathetic lowbrow jibes’ as ‘abominable’.
Modi, while addressing United Arab Emirates (UAE) business leaders in Masdar, said his government has problems of legacy and his immediate priority would be to kick start things which were stalled by the ‘indecisiveness and lethargy’ of past governments.
Reacting to Modi’s statement, Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha tweeted, “It is abominable that PM Modi continues his pathetic lowbrow jibes at opposition party when abroad. A huge embarrassment.”
