Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘see you next year at the Red Fort’ comment, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said the PM’s comments show his “arrogance” and that he will instead hoist the flag “at his home” next year.
The Congress president said, “He [Modi] will hoist the National Flag once again next year. He will do that at his home.”
Kharge added, “Making you win or lose is in the hands of people, in the hands of voters. To say in 2023, ‘I will hoist the flag once again in 2024’ is arrogance.”
Kharge was absent from the Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort.
Addressing from Delhi’s Red Fort on the last Independence Day before the next parliamentary election, Modi said that he will present the achievements of the country in his next Independence Day speech from the Red Fort.
“Next year, on August 15 from this same Red Fort, I will list out the progress achieved by the nation and sing paeans to your strength, your resolve and your success with greater confidence,” PM Modi said.
