New Delhi, Jul 30 (ANI): In a bitter war of words between Congress and BJP over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘industrialist’ remark, Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said, “Nobody hates industrialists, but supporting and protecting only a few selected industrialists is what we are against.” Raising concerns over increasing crony capitalism under the current government, the Congress leader said, “Equal opportunity is not being provided to every industrialist, but to only a few selected ones. But monopolising only their favourite industrialists and suppressing others is what we are against.” He added that the BJP tried to misdirect Rahul Gandhi’s accusation of Prime Minister Modi supporting crony capitalism. Reacting to Gandhi’s ‘crony capitalism’ accusation, PM Modi while addressing a gathering in Lucknow, said that Rahul Gandhi and his party are insulting the top industrialists in the country. Narendra Modi took to the micro-blogging site to give a scathing reply to Gandhi’s accusation, “India is proud of our industry and industrialists. They contribute greatly to national growth. Some people publicly abuse industrialists but privately expect industrialists to kowtow in front of them. I am happy to engage with industry and work with them for India’s prosperity.”
