Shortly after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the\u00a0success of India’s “Mission Shakti”\u00a0in an address to the nation, Rahul Gandhi congratulated the defence research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for carrying out ‘Mission Shakti’ successfully and wished PM Narendra Modi a “Happy World Theatre Day”.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWell done DRDO, extremely proud of your work. I would also like to wish the PM a very happy World Theatre Day,\u201d Rahul tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Besides Rahul, other Opposition leaders hit out at PM Modi for his announcement on India’s anti-satellite missile capability by shooting down a live satellite.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a series of tweets, Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, \u201cIndia\u2019s Mission Programme is world-class for many many years. We are always proud of our scientists, @DRDO_India, other research & space organisations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Research, space management & development are a continuous process over the years. Modi, as usual, likes to take the credit for everything. Credit to those who really deserve it, our scientists & researchers,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mamata said today\u2019s announcement is yet another limitless drama and publicity mongering by Modi desperately trying to reap political benefits at the time of election. This is a gross violation of Model Code of Conduct.<\/span><\/p>\n

She added that there is no great urgency in conducting and announcing the mission now by a government past its expiry date. It seems a desperate oxygen to save the imminent sinking of the BJP boat. \u201cWe are lodging a complaint with the Election Commission,\u201d Mamata said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Samajwadi Party (SP) supremo and former UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav also hit out at PM Modi, accusing him of diverting the nation’s attention away from main issues — unemployment, rural crisis and women’s security.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday @narendramodi got himself an hour of free TV & divert nation’s attention away from issues on ground \u2014 #Unemployment #RuralCrisis & #WomensSecurity \u2014\u00a0by pointing at the sky. Congratulations @drdo_india & @isro \u2014 this success belongs to you. Thank you for making India safer,\u201d Akhilesh tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
