Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a swipe at Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury in the Lok Sabha today saying that the parliamentarian from West Bengal should be given a chance to enjoy his childhood at this age too. PM Modi’s comments came when Chowdhury interrupted the prime minister during his speech in which he launched a scathing attack on the Congress.
“He should be given a chance in between because even at this age, he enjoys childhood,” PM Modi said, drawing laughter and cheer from BJP MPs who started banging the Lok Sabha desks to show support.
Modi further teased Chowdhury saying that he should not interrupt his speech too much as his efforts have been noted down by his party leaders. “Your performance was fine. Those who wanted to register your efforts have already done so. Why are you overdoing it?”

Then, training his guns on the Congress, PM Modi said the party’s statements and actions indicate that it has resigned itself to stay out of power in the next 100 years.
“Now that you (Congress) have made up your mind not to come to power for the next 100 years, then I have also made my preparations,” PM Modi said. There is no change in Congress’ ego even after being voted out from many states years ago, he remarked.
“Nagaland voted for Congress 24 years ago, Odisha voted for you 27 years ago. You won with a full majority in Goa 28 years ago. In 1988, Tripura voted for Congress. West Bengal voted for Congress in 1972. You take credit for the creation of Telangana but the public did not accept you,” he added.
“Today poor people of the country are getting a gas connection, house and toilets. They have their own bank account. But unfortunately, some people’s minds are still stuck in 2014,” PM Modi said targeting Congress.
