The Congress on Monday termed Prime Minister Narendra Modi the “biggest dramabaaz” and said his statement accusing the opposition of indulging in drama in Parliament is “nothing but hypocrisy”.Congress leaders, party president Mallikarjun Kharge and general secretary Jairam Ramesh, were responding to Modi saying in his comments before the start of the Winter session that Parliament is not a place for drama but delivery.
Instead of addressing the real issue of people, Prime Minister Modi has once again made his ‘dramebazi delivery”, Kharge said in a statement on X.
He said the reality is that the government has been continuously trampling on parliamentary decorum and system for the past 11 years, and the long list of such instances is well-known.
“The BJP should now end this drama of distraction and engage in debate in Parliament on the real issues facing the people,” Kharge said in his post.
He added that the truth is that common people are struggling with unemployment, inflation, economic inequality, and the looting of the country’s precious resources, while “those in power are playing the game of dramabazi in the arrogance of authority”.In the last Monsoon session, at least 12 Bills were passed in haste, some in less than 15 minutes and some without any discussion at all, Kharge said.When the Manipur issue was raised, the prime minister remained silent until the opposition brought a no-confidence motion, Kharge alleged.His party colleague Ramesh said the PM never attends Parliament, undermines it and doesn’t engage with the opposition.
