Sep 11, 2023
Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India], September 11 : Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday said that some narrow-minded political parties are jealous of the fact that India has successfully hosted the G20 Summit.
Speaking to reporters in Indore, Jyotiraditya Scindia said, "There are some parties who feel restless when India is rising like a star on the world stage. Under PM Modi's leadership, India successfully hosted G 20. Some narrow-minded political parties are jealous of this."
Earlier Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre for serving a wide range of Indian delicacies to G20 dignitaries while crores of people across the country are dependent on just "five kilos of food grains".
After the conclusion of the G20 Summit, Akhilesh Yadav also said that the experts who were catching stray dogs should be sent to Uttar Pradesh since their job is finished in Delhi.
"The experts who used to catch stray animals in Delhi for organizing G20 are now vacant, send them on deputation to Uttar Pradesh, and the public should get some benefits of G20," Akhilesh Yadav said.
Meanwhile Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Sunday hailed the New Delhi Declaration of the G20 members, saying it "undoubtedly" represents "a diplomatic triumph for India".
Tharoor said, "The Delhi Declaration is undoubtedly a diplomatic triumph for India. It's a good achievement because right until the G20 summit was being convened, the widespread expectation was there would be no agreement and, that, therefore, a joint communique might not be possible, and, that we might have to end up with a chairman's summary."
India assumed the G20 presidency on December 1 last year and about 200 meetings related to G20 were organised in 60 cities across the country.
Before declaring that the summit closed, PM Modi handed over the ceremonial gavel of the Group of 20 presidency to Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
