Accusing the Congress of promoting and practicing casteism in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has alleged that it wants to “crush the patriotism” in the country.
Modi, who was addressing an election rally in Palwal of Haryana on Tuesday, October 1, said, “Congress kept every issue important for the country entangled. The Congress did not allow Ram temple to be built in Ayodhya. Congress did not allow the Constitution to be fully implemented in Jammu and Kashmir.”
“They deprived our sisters of reservation in Parliament and Assembly. Congress kept our Muslim sisters entangled in the problem of triple talaq. Congress did not solve the problems of the country and its citizens but instead used all its energy to establish its own family,” media reports quoted the prime minister as saying.
He held the party responsible for a number of things, saying that the Congress never ever worked with the nation’s interest in mind.
“…Congress has committed so many sins till today, and it still dreams of forming the government. The BJP supporters are patriots. They devise plans to mislead the patriotic people. Congress wants to crush patriotism from this country by propagating casteism, confronting one community against another,” the Modi alleged.
Modi also recalled his party’s landslide victory in Madhya Pradesh assembly elections in December last and said, “Congress’s formula is neither work nor let others work”.
“Congress’s politics is limited to false promises, while BJP’s politics is focused on hard work and showing results. Congress never works hard,” the Prime Minister added.
“Congress thought that 10 years had passed, and the people of Haryana would serve them power on a platter. Congress had the same misconception in Madhya Pradesh…’par Madhya Pradesh ke logo ne Congress ko din mai tara dikha diya’,” he added.
“The people here are also seeing the conflict that is going on within the Congress in Haryana. The angriest with Congress are from the Dalit, backwards and deprived community. The Dalit community has also decided that they will not become a pawn to enhance the politics of the father and son,” he was quoted as saying in the reports.
Haryana will vote in a single-phased assembly poll on October 5. The counting of votes will take place on October 8.
