Congress dying here and Pakistanis crying there, says PM Modi

PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addresses a public rally in Anand said the Congress  is a "mureed" (follower) of Pakistan.

According to the PM,  India is now being seen as a peacemaker in the world but some powers in the world want a weak government at the helm in the country. "Look at the coincidence, today Congress is getting weak in India. The funny thing is that here Congress is dying and there Pakistan is crying. Now Pakistani leaders are praying for Congress. Pakistan is eager to make the prince the Prime Minister and we already know that Congress is a fan of Pakistan. This partnership between Pakistan and Congress has now been completely exposed," said the PM.

PM Modi said he will work 24x7 to make India a developed country by 2047. "I challenge Congress to give in writing that it won't give backdoor quota to Muslims in states where it and its allies are in power," said the PM.

He said India has seen Congress's rule for 60 years  and BJP's "seva-kaal" for 10 years. In Congress' 60 years of rule, around 60 per cent of the rural population did not have the facility of toilets. BJP accomplished this in just 10 years."

On Congress leader Salman Khurshid's niece Maria Alam Khan's statement, PM Modi said, "A leader from the INDI alliance has exposed their strategy in front of the country. The INDI alliance has asked Muslims to go for Vote Jihad. This has come from an educated family, not from a child coming out of a Madrasa... INDI alliance is saying that all Muslims should get together and vote. The INDI alliance has insulted democracy and the Constitution... Any leader from Congress is yet to oppose this statement. They have given their tacit understanding... On one hand, the INDI alliance is trying to divide SC, ST, OBC and general categories, on the other hand, they are raising the slogan of Vote Jihad. This shows how dangerous their intentions are."

Gujarat will vote in the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections on May 7.
