Voting for Congress means putting Haryana's stability, development at stake: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday launched an attack on the Congress, saying if the party comes to power even by mistake, it would destroy the state. Voting for the Congress means putting Haryana's stability and development at stake, he said while addressing a poll rally in Gohana.

Modi said that support for the BJP was growing everyday.

The prime minister said that the BJP government had become a top manufacturing hub.


"Today, the world's biggest companies are interested in setting up factories in India, he said, adding "when industrialisation increases, its biggest benefit goes to poor, farmers and Dalits".


Modi said B R Ambedkar believed that in empowerment of Dalits, industry plays a big role. He added that the Congress is against reservations.

Terming the Congress as the most corrupt party of the country, he gave the example of Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah.

"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," PM Modi said.

He also blamed the Congress of looting Haryana and its farmers.

"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 organisation free of corruption," the Prime Minister added.

"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," he further added.

Shedding light on the agricultural reforms in the state under the BJP regime, the Prime Minister said that the party has always worked to uplift the farmers.

"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," PM Modi said.
