I thank Mallikarjun Kharge ji for doing this honour today: PM Modi

PM Modi, while bidding farewell to retiring members of the Rajya Sabha, took a sarcastic dig at the Congress on Thursday after Mallikarjun Kharge released a "black paper" highlighting the alleged failures of the Modi government over the last 10 years. Modi referred to the Congress's document as "kaala teeka" (to ward off the evil eye) amidst the positive achievements of his government.

He thanked Kharge for the honor and, in a lighter vein, said, "When the country is touching new heights in the last 10 years, we take it as 'kala teeka' to help ward off the evil eye." The PM also referenced the black robes worn by Opposition MPs in protest earlier in the House, calling it a "fashion parade" in the Rajya Sabha. Referring to the Congress's 'black paper' as "kaala teeka" (to ward off the evil eye) in the midst of good work being done by his government, Modi said, "I thank (Mallikarjun) Kharge ji for doing this honour today."

Earlier on Thursday, Congress president Kharge released a "black paper" to highlight the "failures" of the Modi government, alleging that the last 10 years were a period of "injustice" with issues such as rising prices, unemployment, subversion of institutions and "discrimination" against non-BJP states plaguing the country. In reply, Modi said, “When the country is touching new heights in the last 10 years, we take it as 'kala teeka' to help ward off the evil eye.”
