Sonia Gandhi Criticizes Modi's Swearing-In Ceremony

New Delhi [India], June 9: Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi took a sharp dig at Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi during his third swearing-in ceremony as PM. 

Sonia Gandhi claimed that Modi failed to secure the mandate he sought and criticized him for not taking "responsibility for failure." "The Prime Minister who sought the mandate solely in his name, excluding both his party and its allies, has suffered a political and moral defeat. In reality, he has lost the mandate he sought and thereby lost the right to leadership as well," she said at the extended CWC meeting on Saturday.

"Yet, far from taking responsibility for failure, he intends to get himself sworn in again. We do not expect him to change the substance and style of his governance, nor take cognizance of the will of the people," she added.

Gandhi emphasized the CPP's role in holding the government accountable. "As members of the CPP, we have a special obligation to be watchful, vigilant, and proactive in holding him and his new NDA government accountable," she said.

"No longer can and should Parliament be bulldozed like it has been for a decade now. No longer will the writ of the ruling establishment be permitted to disrupt Parliament, whimsically mistreat members, or push through legislation without due and proper consideration and debate. No longer can and should Parliamentary Committees be ignored or bypassed like they have been since 2014," the Congress leader stated.

"No longer will Parliament be muzzled and stifled as it has been over the past ten years," she added.

PM Modi will take the oath of office at 7:15 PM today along with his council of ministers in a ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) unanimously passed a resolution to elect Narendra Modi as their leader on June 5. With today's swearing-in, Modi will become the only leader after former PM Jawaharlal Nehru to be elected for a third consecutive term after completing the full tenure of each previous term.

The BJP secured 240 seats and the National Democratic Alliance won 292 seats out of 543 Lok Sabha seats. Congress, part of the INDIA bloc, together prevented the BJP from getting a majority on its own in Lok Sabha.
