Chattarpur (MP): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the Congress was “expert” in reversing the country’s progress and asked voters to deprive it of power for at least 100 years. He was speaking at a rally at Chhatarpur in BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh ahead of the November 17 assembly elections. “The way a vehicle takes us back in the reverse gear, the Congress is also an expert at reverse gear and converting good governance into bad governance,” he said.
When it was in power in MP, the party did not do anything to resolve the water woes of Bundelkhand which had a rich heritage of water bodies about 100 years ago, and the people there craved for water for a long time, Modi said.
He asked voters to make Congress too crave by depriving it of power for at least 100 years, so that it reforms for good. “The Congress, filled with the mentality of slavery, neither understood the development of the country nor did it have anything to do with the country’s heritage,” Modi said.
He was happy that the children of the poor did not have to sleep hungry during the coronavirus period, he said, adding, “but it is not Modi who deserves credit for it, but all of you. Because it was the power of your vote due to which Modi could feed the poor.” Mentioning the G-20 meetings held in Chhatarpur, he said for a Congress government, the entire country would have “started and ended in Delhi.” “Schemes used to be announced in Delhi. Big foreign leaders used to come to Delhi. Big programs used to take place in Delhi....Whenever Congress leaders took their foreign friends out of Delhi, they showed them India’s poverty. The poor have become a subject of tourism for the Congress leaders who were born with golden spoons,” the prime minister said.
“Modi is providing permanent houses to the brothers and sisters living in the slums, whereas Congress leaders return after clicking pictures with them. Modi, the son of a poor (family), is taking care of malnourished children with whom these well-dressed Congressmen used to get photographed.
