NEW DELHI: The Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday took a swipe at PM Narendra Modi saying " dost dost na raha (friends are no longer friends)" after the PM's "deal with Ambani-Adani " remark. Taking to X, the Congress chief said that "after phase 3 of polling, PM is now attacking his own friends." PM Modi had attacked the Congress earlier in the day accusing it of taking money from industrialists Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani to stop the offensive.
Taking a swipe at PM Modi, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge wrote on X: "The times are changing. Friends are no longer friends…! After the completion of three phases of elections, today the prime minister has started attacking his own friends. This shows that Modiji's chair is shaking. This is the real trend of the results."
What PM Modi said on Congress's "deal with Ambani-Adani"
Addressing a poll rally in Telangana's Vemulavada, PM Modi opened a new-front attack against the Congress and asked why the party had "stopped abusing Ambani-Adani" after the announcement of Lok Sabha elections. "Ever since elections have been announced, these people [Congress] have stopped abusing Ambani-Adani. I want to ask from Telangana soil, let the Shehzada [Rahul Gandhi] announce, how much has been lifted from Ambani-Adani. Has tempo loads of notes reached the Congress? What deal has been arrived at, that abusing Ambani-Adani has stopped overnight," he said.
"Certainly something is fishy. For five years, (they) abused Adani-Ambani and it stopped overnight. It means you have received some tempo loads of ' chori ka maal' (loot). You have to answer the nation," the PM added.
Congress counters PM's attack
Reacting to PM Modi's fresh allegations, Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi said the PM knows that people now understand the reality that he has handed over all wealth to big businessmen and he is now clarifying after getting nervous.
On the remark that Rahul Gandhi has stopped attacking Adani-Ambani now, she said, "Rahul ji talks about Adani-Ambani every day, he puts the truth about them before the public. Every day we tell you that they (BJP) have a nexus with big industrialists. They waived off Rs 16 lakh crores of his friends. In UP, farmers are committing suicide but their loans were not waived off."
Jairam Ramesh also responded to PM's remark and said, "Defeat is a foregone conclusion. The prime minister is now spooked even by his own shadow."

तीन चरणों के चुनाव पूरे हो जाने के बाद आज प्रधानमंत्री जी अपने मित्रों पर ही हमलावर हो गए हैं।
इससे पता चल रहा है कि मोदी जी की कुर्सी डगमगा रही है। यही परिणाम के असली रुझान है।
