Voting for Congress means putting Haryana's stability, development at stake: PM Modi
Sep-25-2024

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today launched a scathing attack on the Congress, saying if the party come s to power even by mistake, it will destroy the state.

Addressing a rally at Sonipat for the upcoming Haryana assembly elections, Modi said voting for the Congress means putting Haryana's stability and development at stake. Modi asserted that as the voting day draws near in Haryana, support for the BJP is growing. He said under the BJP government, Haryana has made place among top states in industry and agriculture sectors. PM also reflected on the economic development and infrastructure development in the state, highlighting better connectivity and construction of highways.

Criticising the Congress, PM Modi said Congress is the party that gave birth to and nurtured corruption in India's government system. Congress is the mother of corruption in India. Taking a dig at Robert Vadra – Priyanka Gandhi's husband – the PM said Congress handed over the state to ‘damaad’ and no job in the state was given without ‘kharchi-parchi (bribe)’. Taking a dig at the Karnataka government, he said Chief Minister K Siddaramaiah was given a tight slap by the High Court by rejecting his petition outright against the governor’s order to probe his involvement in the Muda Scam.

Talking about Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, who hails from the Dalit community in Karnataka, Modi said even the funds for the upliftment of Dalits have been misappropriated by the state government. He asked the audience whether they wanted to vote for such a corrupt party in power and said no BJP Chief Minister has been dragged to corruption charges. Speaking of Congress-NC alliance in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) for the Assembly elections, PM Modi said congress and its allies don't like peace; they want to bring back Article 370 in J-K. 

Several senior BJP leaders, including Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, shared the dais with the Prime Minister. Haryana will go to the Polls on October 5 and the results for both Haryana and JK will be declared on October 8.
