Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Congress for not letting Parliament function and scuttling crucial bills like the GST, saying the 'hawalabaaz' (corrupt) are acting only as roadblocks.
PM Modi said it was the only party that did not agree to let Parliament function and decisions be taken.
"We had hoped the Congress would work with us and help Parliament enforce reforms but it is the only one that does not agree. I appeal to those who have been rejected by the people to work with us for the pride of democracy and fend off economic dangers," said PM Modi while addressing BJP workers in the capital of Madhya Pradesh.
The PM said India wants to move ahead and is standing firm despite global economic scenario and this opportunity should be taken advantage of and parties should allow Parliament to function.
While countering a barb by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi - who had said on Tuesday his poll promises were "nothing more than hawabaazi (empty talk)" - he said, "The 'hawalabaaz' are worried that the ground beneath their feet is slipping. They can sense the impending danger."
The PM said Congress is yet to digest poll verdict but the BJP has always tried to learn from its mistakes.
"We didn't criticise others but introspected and corrected our mistakes instead and today the people of the nation have given a government with full majority."
He is in Bhopal to inaugurate the 10th World Hindi Summit that will conclude on September 12.
The Lal Parade Ground has been named Makhanlal Chaturvedi Nagar after the noted Hindi journalist, while the main venue has been named after writer Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.
External affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, minister of state for external affairs Gen VK Singh (retd), and Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will be present during the inauguration. It will also be attended by Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
Being organised by the external affairs ministry, the summit will see participants brainstorming over methods to strengthen the spread of Hindi language apart from evaluating the efforts already underway and improvement in this direction.
Experts on Hindi will be honoured during the concluding function, to be attended by Union home minister Rajnath Singh.
Over 5,000 people from across India and abroad are expected to participate.
