Congress has developed Modi phobia: BJP lawmaker Meenakshi Lekhi

They (Congress) perhaps think he (Modi) is god. They will one day even blame him for drought, the BJP lawmaker from New Delhi, Meenakshi Lekhi said.

New Delhi: The Congress has developed 'Narendra Modi phobia' and at times it could even blame his government for drought and bad monsoon in the country, BJP lawmaker Meenakshi Lekhi said on Friday.

"They perhaps think he (Modi) is god. They will one day even blame him for drought," the parliamentarian from New Delhi said.

However, the MP said, the Congress itself is responsible for the drought and dry spell across the country due to their misgovernance over the last more than 65 years.

"Poor water management is responsible for drought. That`s why even states like Uttar Pradesh with rivers is suffering from dry spells," she said.

Referring to certain corruption cases of the past, she said the Congress should be more careful about their past acts of omission and commission since the Modi government was determined to fix responsibility.

"They got away with many things in the past. This time, with prosecution and investigations on track, it will be difficult for them," Lekhi told IANS at Parliament House here.
