News Mania Desk / Sohom Chatterjee / 26th September 2024
On September 25, Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress party regarding the recent MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) scam and how Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah is involved in this matter.
While addressing a campaign rally in Haryana, days prior to the Assembly elections, the PM said, “It has only been two years, and just look at the Congress government in Karnataka. The Chief Minister is facing accusations of a land scam. When he appeared in the High Court, he was dismissed. The court stated that a proper investigation is necessary in this matter.”
“Ten years ago when there was a Congress government here, the farmers’ lands were looted. The Congress had handed over Haryana to Dalals and Damads. There was no job which could be attained without cheating, and there was no organization free of corruption,” he added.
Modi also criticised the opposition party for sidelining the marginalised communities of Haryana by saying, “Congress has always kept SC/ST/OBC away from participation. It was Baba Saheb Ambedkar who gave reservation to Dalits, otherwise like OBC, Dalits would also have to wait for Congress’ defeat for reservation. Whenever Congress has been away from the government, the poor, SC/ST/OBC have got their rights. Whenever Congress has been in the government, it has snatched the rights of Dalits and backward classes”.
He included, “There is no party more corrupt than the Congress. You also know that wherever Congress got the chance, wherever it set foot, corruption and nepotism are certain there. It is Congress that creates and nurtures corruption in the Indian government system.”
Speaking about the agricultural reforms in the state in the BJP era, Modi expressed that the party has always worked for the betterment of the farmers. He stated, “The BJP government in Haryana has decided to give MSP for 24 crops, but when the Congress was here, it hated to buy crops on MSP. This is the truth of the Congress party which the farmers need to learn. The BJP government is continuously taking decisions in the benefit of the farmers.”
The PM also shed some light upon the economic and infrastructural development in the state. “Today, the big companies of the world are eager to invest in India and set up their factories here. Just think, when such big companies invest in India, my Haryana, the youth and the farmers here will benefit a lot. The public of Haryana knows the importance of double engine government, therefore it chooses the same government both in the centre and the state,” PM Modi said.
The BJP supremo appreciated the state’s contributions to national glory by saying, “Haryana is the medal factory of India. In the Olympic and world games, the youth of Haryana has participated majorly. Small nurseries of Olympic games will be built in each district so that the youth of Haryana represents the country at international platforms.”
The Assembly elections polling in Haryana will be conducted on October 5 and the result will be declared on October 8, along with the results of Jammu and Kashmir.
