New Delhi: Hitting out at the Congress for its August 5 protest wearing black outfits, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said those who believe in black magic will never be able to earn the trust of the people.
Virtually addressing the inauguration of a 2G ethanol plant in Panipat in Haryana, Modi said, “We saw that on August 5 there was an attempt to spread black magic. These people think that by wearing black clothes, their time of despair will end.” He added that some people in the country are trapped in negativity and immersed in despair.

He further said, “The public is not ready to trust such people even after repeatedly spreading lies against the government.” On August 5, Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, protested against price rise, GST hike on essential items and unemployment wearing black clothes.
On ethanol blending, PM Modi stated that the country saved Rs 50,000 crore in foreign exchange by blending ethanol with petrol in the last seven-eight years. Modi added that the same amount of Rs 50,000 crore has gone to the farmers. He added that the Rs 900 crore ethanol plant will provide a permanent solution to the problem of stubble burning in farms.
The Congress hit back at the Prime Minister and said the nation wants him to talk about their problems but the ‘jumlajeevi’ is talking about other things. Sharing a pic of Modi wearing a black outfit, Ramesh wrote, “He could not do anything to bring black money, now they are making pointless issue about black clothes. The country wants the Prime Minister to talk about their problems, but jumlajeevi keeps on speaking anything.”
