Congress has no vision for welfare of Rajasthan: PM Modi
BJP believes in strengthening unity in India, Congress speaks about dividing India: PM Modi
Congress never thinks about the welfare of the poor and marginalised. Everyone knows their conduct towards Dr. Ambedkar. They did not even confer him Bharat Ratna: PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a massive rally in Alwar, Rajasthan today. The rally comes as the state of Rajasthan gears up to vote for the state Assembly elections scheduled on 7th December 2018.

The rally saw PM Modi coming down heavily on the Congress party for its failure to govern Rajasthan during its previous tenures which led to the people of Rajasthan remaining poor while their Congress leaders accumulated huge wealth. PM Modi said, “Congress never thinks about the welfare of the poor and the marginalised.

Everybody knows their conduct towards Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. The Congress did not even confer him the Bharat Ratna when it was in power.”

Prime Minister Modi further continued by describing how the Congress has created an atmosphere of fear of the judiciary in the country. “They tell the Hon’ble Supreme Court to delay the Ayodhya hearing due to the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

 They do everything they can to impeach the Chief Justice of our country. How can we accept such ill-intended tactics of the Congress?,” he asked.

The rally then concluded with PM Modi enlisting major schemes initiatied by his BJP government in the Centre and in Rajasthan led by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. He said the only mantra that his party fights its elections on, is ‘Vikas’ (development) and so the people must vote keeping in mind the future of their kids.

He urged the people to vote for the BJP in huge numbers and ensure a resounding victory for Vasundhara Raje’s to provide even better governance and progress in the coming times.
