PM Modi: Congress wants to divide Hindus for political gains

New Delhi: A day after securing a historic win in the Haryana Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lambasted the Congress party, accusing them of dividing the Hindu society for political gains.

The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone of various development projects in Maharashtra worth over Rs 7600 crore virtually on Wednesday.

While addressing the event virtually, PM Modi said, "Just yesterday, the election results of Haryana and Jammu & Kashmir were declared. Haryana has told what the mood of the country is. It is historic to be elected for the third consecutive time after completing two terms."

"The policy of Congress is to make one caste of Hindus fight against another caste. Congress knows that the more Hindus get divided, the more it will benefit. Congress wants to keep the Hindu society on fire by any means to make political gains out of it. Wherever elections are held in India, Congress applies this formula," he added.

PM Modi also claimed the Congress party attempted to mislead the public of all sections including Dalits, farmers, and youth, but their efforts were thwarted.

"The entire ecosystem of Congress and the entire gang of urban Naxals were busy misleading the public. But all the conspiracies of Congress were ruined. It tried to spread lies among the Dalits. But the Dalit community sensed their dangerous intentions. Dalits realised that Congress wants to divide its vote bank by snatching away their reservation," he said.

Emphasising that the farmers of Haryana are happy with the welfare schemes introduced by the BJP, PM Modi said, "Today the Dalit community of Haryana has given record support to BJP. OBCs of Haryana are with BJP after seeing its development work. Congress provoked the farmers. But farmers know who gave them MSP on crops. Farmers of Haryana are happy with the farmer welfare schemes of BJP."

"Congress targeted the youth and tried to provoke them in different ways. But the youth of Haryana, our sisters and daughters are trusting only BJP for their bright future," he added.

PM Modi accused the Congress of rampant corruption during their rule, matching the current pace and scale of development. "Never in the history of Maharashtra has development taken place in different sectors at such a fast pace and on such a large scale. Yes, it is a different matter that during the Congress rule, corruption definitely took place in different sectors at the same pace and on the same scale," he said.
