New Delhi: While the launch of Chandrayaan-3 was a proud second for all, the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) and Congress clashed on social media after each claimed credit score for the ISRO’s third lunar mission. Congress chief KC Venugopal tweeted that ISRO was a imaginative and prescient of the primary Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and was supported and superior by subsequent Congress PMs comparable to Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Dr Manmohan Singh throughout their tenure. However, the BJP didn’t take it flippantly with get together chief Amit Malviya terming it a determined try by Congress to say credit score for the Chandrayaan 3 launch. Malviya stated that out of 424 international satellites launched by ISRO to date, 389 have been launched within the final 9 years beneath Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s management.
“The ISRO dreamt of by Pandit Nehru, nurtured by Indira Gandhi ji, and taken to great heights by Rajiv Gandhi ji and Dr. Manmohan Singh ji achieves a new milestone! A proud moment for all, as we excitedly watch the #Chandrayan3 take off to conquer the moon! Jai Hind,” tweeted KC Venugopal.
Responding to his tweet, Malviya stated, “Small fact is that Nehru died in May 1964 and ISRO was established on Aug 1969. It doesn’t end there… Out of 424 foreign satellites launched till date by India, 389 were launched in the last nine years, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s premiership. A mere 35 were launched before 2014. It is obvious that Nehru did precious little, except dream… What is worse is that no one from Indira to Manmohan took Nehru’s dream seriously.”
