Published By : Admin | September 14, 2024 | 15:40 IST
Congress created a ruckus over the Old Pension Scheme, but when their lies were caught by people, they stopped even talking about the OPS: PM in Haryana
In less than 100 days, our government has already started works worth about Rs 15 lakh crore. 3 crore pucca houses have been approved for poor families: PM Modi
Congress talks big when it comes to farmers...If the Congress has the guts, why don't they implement their farmer schemes in Karnataka & Telangana: PM
No party more dishonest and deceiving than Congress, says PM Modi in Haryana
Congress made hue and cry over MSP, I ask them how many crops they buy at MSP in Karnataka and Telangana, says PM Modi in Kurukshetra

Today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a public meeting in Kurukshetra, passionately stated, "I have come once again to ask for your support to form a BJP government on this sacred land. You have entrusted me with the opportunity to serve in Delhi for the third consecutive time, and the enthusiasm I see here today makes it clear, BJP’s hat-trick is inevitable."

PM Modi continued with great energy, saying, "The people of Haryana are known for standing firm on their word, and BJP has learned the same. What we promise, we deliver. Just few days ago, we made a major decision that will benefit millions of families in Haryana. The BJP government has decided that all elderly people over the age of 70 will now receive free medical treatment worth up to ₹5 lakh. We had said that the first 100 days of the BJP government will be of big decisions. In less than 100 days, we have launched projects worth ₹15 lakh crore and approved 3 crore homes for the underprivileged, providing them not just a house but a permanent address, a launchpad for their dreams.”

Expressing confidence in his party’s future, PM Modi added, "In Haryana, BJP is working with full dedication, transforming the state into a top performer in investment and revenue. Remember when Congress limited development funds to just one district? Haryana saw how those funds vanished into the wrong hands. But the BJP has connected the entire state to the stream of progress. Where half the homes once lacked water connections, today, Haryana is on track to achieve 100% tap water connectivity.”

Addressing concerns about the future, the Prime Minister said, "I am deeply concerned for your future and your children’s. Just look at Himachal, where Congress came to power two years ago. Today, nobody is happy, empty promises, delayed salaries, no DA for employees, and abandoned schemes. Congress has pushed Himachal’s economy to the brink, leaving the people to suffer under rising costs and failed programs."

PM Modi didn’t hold back in his critique of the opposition, stating, "Congress has never truly cared about the people’s problems. No party has been as dishonest and deceitful. Those who trusted Congress are now regretting it. Look at Karnataka and Telangana, Congress’ lies have reached there too. Their only agenda is to empty public coffers to win elections. Just witness the condition of Punjab. The people of Haryana must keep such parties far from power.”

Shifting focus to the efforts of the central government, PM Modi proudly highlighted the support given to farmers, stating, "Our government has taken many steps to reduce the burden on farmers. Take urea, for example. While a bag of urea costs ₹3,000 internationally, we provide it to our farmers for less than ₹300.”

Launching another sharp attack on Congress, he said, "In just a few months of Congress rule in Karnataka, around 1,200 farmers have committed suicide because they received no help during the drought. Yet here in Haryana, Congress continues to make false promises. When the nation exposed their lies, they stopped talking about the Old Pension Scheme altogether. In contrast, BJP has introduced the New Pension Scheme, guaranteeing a secure future for employees. Government employees have widely appreciated this scheme.”

PM Modi also shared an emotional moment with the crowd, "Just a few days ago, we completed the third revision of the One Rank One Pension (OROP) scheme, and starting this October, my ex-servicemen brothers will begin receiving its benefits. For Congress, appeasement is their only agenda. In Karnataka, under Congress rule, even Lord Ganpati is being disrespected.”

PM Modi also addressed the issue of reservations, stating, "Remember, when Nehru was the Prime Minister, he opposed reservations, claiming that hiring through reservations would lower the quality of government services. Indira Gandhi also blocked OBC reservations, and it wasn’t until the Janata Party government that the Mandal Commission was formed. But when Congress returned, they buried the report. Rajiv Gandhi too opposed OBC reservations and insulted the community. Even today, Congress continues its royal family’s agenda against reservations. But let me make one thing clear, as long as Modi is here, not a single penny of Dr. Ambedkar’s reservation policy will be touched. SC/ST/OBC reservations are here to stay forever.”

PM Modi stated, “Congress family is the biggest anti-OBC, anti-ST & anti-SC; they always hated Babasaheb Ambedkar. Who knows Congress's anti-Dalit stance better than Haryana? Every time Congress forms a government in Haryana, Dalits face hardship."

Reaffirming BJP’s commitment to Haryana’s development, PM Modi said, "While BJP is working with full honesty for Haryana’s growth, Congress thrived on corruption, harming the youth the most. BJP has ended those corrupt practices, and today our government’s transparency is being appreciated across the country.” He assured the crowd that after October 8, BJP will begin a new chapter of development in Haryana.

In his closing remarks, PM Modi declared, "A third BJP government in Haryana means faster, more inclusive development for all. We will accelerate efforts to make Kurukshetra a major cultural tourism hub. The Geeta Mahotsav and the Jyotisar Experience Centre have already been established, and work on a grand memorial for Sant Ravidas Ji has begun. To ensure this continued progress, Haryana needs a full majority BJP government.”

Based on the extensive deliberations between Central Ministries/Departments, NITI Aayog, States/UTs and domain experts, the fourth National Conference will focus on the theme ‘Promoting Entrepreneurship, Employment & Skilling – Leveraging the Demographic Dividend’ covering best practices and strategies for States/UTs to follow.
