Launching a volley against the Congress with less than two weeks to go for the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that the party’s manifesto is a bundle of lies and every page of the document reeks of attempts to tear India apart.
Addressing a rally in Rajasthan’s Ajmer on Saturday – with the Congress also holding an event in nearby Jaipur to “publicly launch” its manifesto – the PM said that the party’s thoughts in the manifesto resemble those of the Muslim League during the pre-Independence period.
“The Congress issued a bundle of lies in the form of its manifesto which has unmasked the party. Every page reeks of attempts to tear India apart. It reflects the thoughts that the Muslim League had before Independence. The Congress wants to impose the Muslim League’s thoughts from that era on the India of today. And what is remaining of the manifesto is dominated by communist and leftist thoughts,” PM Modi said in Hindi.
Claiming that the Congress of today is bereft of principles and policies, the Prime Minister said it was apparent that the party has outsourced everything. He then went on to ask whether such a party could do anything that would be in the country’s interest, eliciting a loud “no” from the people in the audience.
“If you look at the manifesto, it is clear that they want to push India back into the past century… The Congress has never bothered about nari shakti (women power). Generations of women have suffered after Independence. Shouldn’t a Congress like this be punished? Use your vote on April 19 and punish the Congress,” the PM said.
Highlighting the schemes for the construction of toilets and providing LPG cylinders, tap water and nutrition for pregnant women, the PM said his government cares not just for women but even the babies that are about to be born.
