Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress manifesto, likening it to the ideologies of the Muslim League and Left parties.
“The Congress manifesto completely bears the imprint of the Muslim League, and whatever part of it is left is completely dominated by the leftists,” said the prime minister, adding that every page of the manifesto reflects the mindset of breaking India into pieces.
Addressing an election rally in Rajasthan’s Ajmer, he went on to ask whether such a party could do anything that would be in the country’s interest, eliciting a loud “no” from the audience.
Firing another salvo at the grand old party, the prime minister said: “The Congress of today is bereft of principles and policies. Today, the Congress has neither principles nor policies left. It was apparent that the party had outsourced everything”.
Modi remarked, “Once hailed as India’s largest party with leadership spread across the nation, it appears the Congress has lost sight of national development. The recently unveiled Congress manifesto lacks vision, resembling the mindset of the Muslim League and the Left. The Congress seems to have faded into oblivion, unable to drive the nation forward.”
Meanwhile, addressing another election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur later in the day, Modi said the opposition alliance was fighting just to stop the BJP from winning more than 370 seats.
“During its rule, the Congress’ focus was on earning commissions. The INDI Alliance too aims to earn commission after coming to power but the NDA and Modi sarkar is on a mission,” he said.
Contrastingly, Modi emphasized his relentless commitment to national progress. “My actions speak louder than words—I work tirelessly, round the clock, aiming for progress by 2047. This is Modi’s new mantra—your dream is Modi’s pledge.”
Shifting focus to corruption, Modi asserted, “Today, I am dedicated to rooting out corruption for the sake of your children’s future. Corruption poses a grave threat to our nation and undermines the prospects of our youth. I am steadfastly fighting to secure a better future for your children, despite attempts by corrupt elements to intimidate me.
