NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday took a dig at the Congress over the party's stand on the new farm laws and called it a "divided and confused" party.
"The condition of the Congress party, a very old party which ruled the country for about six decades, has now become such that its Rajya Sabha unit moves in one direction while the Lok Sabha unit moves in another direction," Modi said.
The Prime Minister explained in detail how the provisions of the new farm laws would be beneficial for the farmers.
The Congress MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, disrupted PM Modi's speech and eventually walked out of the Lok Sabha in protest when he was speaking on the three farm laws.
Such a "divided" and "confused" party can neither do any good for itself nor can it think of any solution to the country's problems, Modi said.
"Nothing can be more unfortunate than this. The Congress is also there in Rajya Sabha, their senior leaders are there, they debate with a lot of enthusiasm and express their views. On the other hand, there is the other section of the Congress (in Lok Sabha).... time will tell," the Prime Minister said.
Earlier, he hit out at the opposition saying, those who are disrupting the House are doing so as per a well-planned strategy.
They are unable to digest that people are seeing the truth, Modi said.
The trust of the people can never be won through these games, he said.
