Ansari: Opposition Parties Are India's Real Crisis, Not PM

Uttar Pradesh's Minority Welfare Minister Danish Azad Ansari launched a scathing attack on opposition parties amid backlash against PM Modi's energy-saving initiative, asserting that citizens are acutely aware of the genuine threats lurking within politics. 'The nation knows which parties and leaders are the crises,' Ansari told reporters, citing the 2014 defeat of Congress and SP's 2017 ouster in UP as public endorsements of change. He portrayed Modi as a patriot par excellence, whose appeals stem from a deep-seated commitment to sustainable growth. SP and Congress, by contrast, perpetually sabotage advancement, uninterested in collective prosperity. Condemning the West Bengal killing of a BJP figure's secretary, Ansari vowed thorough investigations to unmask perpetrators. Refuting SP's narratives, Ansari invited leaders to experience UP's renaissance firsthand—gleaming expressways, modern airports, job creation, industrial renaissance, and a secure, harmonious society. 'They're trapped in 2012-2017 nostalgia,' he sneered. UP's ascent to frontrunner status has other states taking notes, fueling opposition envy. Ansari lauded Modi's Somnath homage as a boost to cultural unity and national strength. Dismissing Tharoor's Bengal comments, he underlined democratic sanctity: 'People's mandate is inviolable; Congress must respect it over ego.'
