Congress's maximum time goes into infighting and taking on each other: PM Modi

Send Push
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday hit out at the Congress party , accusing it of failing to deliver on its election promises after coming to power. "Congress made tall promises in Himachal; but after they got power, development came to standstill, they are unable to pay salaries," PM Modi said while interacting with Haryana BJP workers through the NaMo app .

Alleging that the grand old party has "failed" as an opposition in the last ten years, the prime minister said it "spends most of its time infighting and every child in Haryana is aware of it".

"Some are saying the Congress is becoming weak each day. During the past 10 years, the Congress has failed as opposition too", PM Modi told BJP workers in Haryana, which is set to go to polls on October 5.

"The entire basis of those fighting against us in the polls is lies. They repeatedly tell lies, their talks have no head and tail and they vitiate the atmosphere," he added.

Hitting out at the Congress party for branding BJP as inimical to deprived sections of the society, PM Modi said, " One can't imagine how many atrocities committed against Dalits during Congress rule in Haryana" and called upon the BJP workers to "expose them".

The prime minister claimed that the grand old party has stood aloof from real issues of people, while asserting belief that the people of Haryana will vote for BJP once more.

"The party remained far from people's issues for 10 years... such people can never win the trust of the people of Haryana," he said.

"During Congress's rule, Haryana farmers got Rs 2 cheques for crop damage", PM Modi said recounting BJP govt's initiatives for farmers.

The prime minister also recalled his days as a BJP worker in Haryana and said, "It is my full belief that the people of Haryana have decided to give one more chance to the BJP to serve."

Calling the opportunity to work in the state as a "fortune", the prime minister told the BJP workers :"I remember one thing. Be it workers of the old generation or the new generation, their hard work always inspired me," PM Modi said, adding that he feels happy whenever he gets an opportunity to talk to the grassroots workers.

"They are happy that in 10 years a government has been run without corruption. This has happened in Haryana for the first time. "Youth have got jobs without "parchi and kharchi" (jobs for cash). Therefore, the people of Haryana are with us, their blessings are with us and victory is certain," he said.

Haryana goes to polls on October 5 while results will be declared on October 8.
