‘Modi ka tairta hua Gujarat model’: Congress mocks BJP amid flood woes

NEW DELHI: As Gujarat grapples with the devastating impact of relentless rains, Congress mocked PM Modi and BJP government’s much-touted ‘Gujarat Model’. Taking to X, Congress shared a video that captured a flooded city in Gujarat and a house-like structure being swept away by floodwaters.

The video included a text message that read, “Modi ka tairta hua Gujarat model,” while the caption said, “Aa jaaye…Modi nu Gujarat model.”

Earlier today, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, expressed their concern over the flood situation in Gujarat.

They urged the government to take all necessary measures to mitigate the impact of the natural disaster.

Kharge, in a post on X, emphasised the severity of the situation, offering condolences to the families who have lost loved ones and highlighting the urgent need for food and medical assistance for those affected.

The death toll from rain-related incidents in Gujarat has risen to 16 over the past two days, with an additional 8,500 people being relocated and rescued from flood-affected areas.

The government is conducting relief and rescue operations involving various agencies such as the NDRF, SDRF, the Army, the Indian Air Force, and the Indian Coast Guard.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally reached out to chief minister Bhupendra Patel to assess the situation and ensure the centre’s support in managing the crisis.

Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X, expressed his deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones and those whose property has been damaged. He called upon all Congress workers to provide assistance to the affected people and the administration in relief and rescue efforts.

He also urged the government to take all necessary steps to reduce the impact of the calamity and facilitate the reconstruction and rehabilitation process for the affected individuals as quickly as possible.
