Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lambasted the Congress party, accusing them of dividing Hindu society for political gains, a day after achieving a historic victory in Haryana assembly elections.
The Prime Minister on Wednesday laid the foundation stone of various development projects worth over Rs 7,600 crore in Maharashtra.
Speaking at a virtual event, Prime Minister Modi said, “Just yesterday, the election results of Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir were announced. Haryana has told the mood of the country. After completing two terms Being elected for the third consecutive time is historic.”
“Congress’s policy is to pit one caste of Hindus against another. Congress knows that the more divided Hindus are, the more it benefits. Congress wants to keep Hindu society ablaze by any means necessary to gain political benefits from it.
Wherever elections are held in India, Congress will adopt this formula,” he added.
Prime Minister Modi also alleged that the Congress party was trying to mislead various sections of the public, including Dalits, farmers, youth, but their efforts were thwarted.
“The entire ecosystem of the Congress and the entire urban Naxalites are busy misleading the public. But all conspiracies of the Congress fell apart. It tried to spread lies among Dalits. But the Dalit community sensed their dangerous intentions .Dalits realize that Congress wants to divide their vote bank by taking away their reservation,” he said.
Highlighting the satisfaction of Haryana farmers with the welfare schemes launched by the BJP, PM Modi said, “Today, the Dalit community in Haryana extended record support to the BJP. Haryana’s Dalit community extended record support to the BJP. OBCs joined the BJP after seeing its development work.
Congress angered farmers. But farmers know who provides MSP for their crops. Farmers in Haryana are happy with the BJP’s farmer welfare schemes. “
“Congress is targeting the youth and trying to anger them in different ways. But the youth of Haryana, our sisters and daughters only believe in the bright future of the BJP,” he added.
The Prime Minister further congratulated the people of Maharashtra for laying the foundation stones of various development projects today.
“Today, Maharashtra received donations for 10 medical colleges. Two important infrastructure-related projects – modernization and expansion of Nagpur Airport and construction of Shirdi Airport terminal – were also laid today .I congratulate the people of Maharashtra for all these developmental works,” he said.
Prime Minister Modi accused the Congress party of rampant corruption during its rule, matching the current pace and scale of development.
“Never in the history of Maharashtra has there been growth of different industries at such a fast pace and on such a massive scale. Yes, it is something else, corruption definitely started in the same way during the Congress rule Speed and scale are happening in different sectors,” he said.
Emphasizing on the recognition of Marathi as a classical language, the Prime Minister said, “Just a few days ago, we gave Marathi elite language status. When a language gets glory, not just words but an entire generation does. Get new lyrics. The decades-long dream of millions of Maratha people has come true.”
“People of Maharashtra are celebrating this joy in many places. Today, people are sending me happy messages from every village in Maharashtra. The people of Maharashtra are celebrating their message thanking me for giving Marathi the status of elite language but I want to tell you that this work is not done by me alone but is a blessing from all of you,” he added.
