Prime Minister
Narendra Modi today resumed the
BJP's campaign blitz in Karnataka, addressing four massive rallies as the polling day draws closer. In an all-out attack against the
Congress, Modi accused the ruling party of corruption, divisive politics and misleading the people of the state. Here are the highlights of PM Modi's speeches today:
On poll outcome
The results of Karnataka election are clearly written on the walls. BJP will form government in the state with absolute majority.
Come May 15, the Indian National Congress will become the PPP Congress (Punjab, Puducherry and Parivar Congress). Congress is being rejected all over India.
On casteism
Congress believes in divide and rule philosophy. They divide people on the grounds of caste. And shockingly, they even classify criminals on the grounds of caste.
On corruption
There is no difference between the 'C' of Congress and 'C' of Corruption. Even now they cry fowl of demonetisation.
Congress can only loot Karnataka, they cannot do any thing else for the state.
On secret pact between Congress and JD(S)
The people of Karnataka have right to know about the alliance between Congress and JD-S because they pretend to fight in some parts of the state while being together in the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) as evident from the latter's support to the ruling party's corporator (Sampath Raj) in becoming the city mayor last year.
On Mahadayi water dispute
Congress is misleading people in the name of Mahadayi.
Sonia Gandhi said - we are committed that Karnataka does not get Mahadayi waters. She said this during a speech at Madgaon, Goa.
On Congress attacks
Congress mocked the Swachhata Abhiyan. Is it not right that we think about their welfare? Be it any subject, Congress objects. Opposing Modi has become the only agenda of Congress.
On dynastic politics
For Congress, only one family is everything. For me, 125 crore Indians are my family.
Ever wondered why it took so long for Congress to distribute tickets? This is due to a tender system- for tickets, for leaders...there will also be a tender for CM-ship. Whoever promises to send most money to Delhi all get the CM-ship in Congress.
On 'false promises'
The Congress is trying to offer false rhetoric and empty promises to the farmers. The Congress' neglect of the agriculture sector is very well known. I wish they were serious about the welfare of the farmers.
Congress spreads lies and hence is unable to digest if anyone speaks the truth. People are well aware of their tactics.
The Congress Government in Karnataka is working only for 'Naamdaars' and not for 'Kaamdaars' .
On crime in Karnataka
Our karyakartas (workers) were brutally murdered just because of political differences. Is this the democracy that Congress practices?
On poverty
For years, Congress spoke of 'garibi' (poverty) over and over again but is mum about it ever since the son of a poor mother became Prime Minister.
