Reflecting on the Sengol controversy that emerged last year before the inauguration of the new Parliament building, senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticized PM-designate Narendra Modi on Sunday. He claimed that “Modi’s pretensions” were rejected by the Tamil electorate in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The Congress leader took a jab at Modi before his swearing-in as Prime Minister, labeling him the leader of the Narendra Destructive Alliance (NDA).
