Congress a sinking ship, a thing of the past: Narendra Modi

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today lashed out at the opposition for speaking ill of the Punjabi people while adressing a political gathering in Jalandhar, Punjab.

Here are his top quotes from the rally:

1) This election is about giving renewed strength to Punjab, the land of the brave and the courageous.

2) Due to selfish interests and lack of will for proper discussion, some people are trying to humiliate Punjab.

3) Why are some people saying improper things about the youth of Punjab? Is it just for political interests? Such discourse is not good.

4) In 2012, the Congress was overconfident about winning power but we saw what happened. No one can underestimate the people of Punjab.

5) Punjab wants to see Shri Parkash Singh Badal as CM again. He is a leader who always worked for Punjab.

6) OROP was pending since so many years. We have already given Rs 6,000 crore out of Rs 10,000 crore to our soldiers.

7) For Badal 'Sahab', what matters is the poor, the farmers and the villages.

8) Congress is now a thing of the past which is standing on its last legs. Congress is a sinking ship, will the people of Punjab board a ship that is sinking?
