"Congress made hollow promises of farm loan waiver only to score in elections and benefited middlemen and the corrupt," said PM Modi.
The Prime Minister came down heavily on the Congress party in Chhattisgarh for pulling out the Centre’s Ayushman Bharat scheme and to bar the CBI from entering the state. PM Modi asked the gathering that why the Congress government barred CBI from entering in state? What are the Congress party afraid of and why they snatched the health benefit of Modicare from the people of Chhattisgarh?
"Congress owes the legacy of corruption, which ruined the country for 55 years whereas BJP empowered the poor to fight poverty in span of 55 days. From Raipur to Delhi the Congress party want to make Chhattisgarh their ATM, which is why they barred CBI from entering the state,” said Modi.
