Will be forced to call Modi by his various popular nicknames: Congress
New Delhi, July 14 : Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his calling Congress President Rahul Gandhi as "naamdar" in a public speech in Uttar Pradesh, the Congress on Saturday said it too would be forced to call him by various nicknames if he did not mend his ways.
"If we start calling you (Modi) by your various nicknames popular among the public as well as on social media, you will not feel good. So please think before you call senior leaders of other parties names. We will have to forget the dignity of your post the way you have done," said Congress spokesman Pramod Tiwari.
"We would have to rake up all the names by which the common people call a person who does not fulfil his promises, who is all words and little action," he added.
The Congress leader said that while the Prime Minister in his speech at Azamgarh claimed that his government is fighting for the rights of Muslim women, he forgot to touch upon rapes in Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Uttar Pradesh and to tell people about his party MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar who has been charge sheeted by CBI for rape.
"The Prime Minister could have announced in the same breath that he was expelling Sengar from the party. He forgot to speak on the rampant rapes in Uttar Pradesh in BJP rule," Tiwari said.
He said that Modi sounded like a tired commander who was staring at the defeat.
"After giving 73 Lok Sabha and 323 assembly seats to BJP, the public had been expecting to hear from the Prime Minister about the jobs, employment, about farmers' dues, about the reopening of shut down factories and mills. But he spoke none of that because he has nothing to show on the ground," Tiwari added.

Adequate LPG stock in Chhattisgarh, no need to panic, says CM Sai
Raipur (PTI): Amid reports of shortage of commercial LPG cylinder in several parts of the country due to the US-Israel-Iran conflict, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday assured people that they need not worry about the availability of cooking gas in the state.
He asserted that adequate stock of LPG as well as petrol and diesel was available in the state.
Sai said in a statement that authorities have been directed to regularly monitor stock at gas agencies and keep a close watch on the supply chain. Necessary instructions were issued to officials in all districts to ensure a smooth supply of LPG.
The chief minister instructed officials to take strict action if any complaint of black marketing or hoarding of LPG cylinders is received.
Sai urged state residents not to pay attention to rumours and to book cooking gas cylinders as per their actual requirement.
The government was fully alert to ensure the availability of essential commodities to citizens, he emphasised.
Meanwhile, the Chhattisgarh Hotel and Restaurant Association has issued an advisory to hotels, restaurants, caterers and other food businesses across the state, urging them to maintain calm and avoid panic buying.
In the advisory, Taranjeet Singh Hora, president of the association, asked members to maintain coordination and immediately inform it about any major disruption in LPG supply.
He cautioned businesses against hoarding cylinders, saying such practices could worsen the situation for the entire hospitality sector.
The association advised hotels and restaurants to prioritise essential kitchen operations, core menu items and already committed banquet events.
Use electric cooking equipment wherever possible for emergency and staff kitchens such as induction cooktops, electric hot plates, electric rice cookers and kettles, the advisory stated.
