Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of being a symbol of corruption, nepotism and appeasement, which he said are preventing the country from becoming a developed nation.
Modi made the remarks during a public meeting in the Baran district of Rajasthan, which is due to hold elections soon. He said that the Congress leaders are unruly and that the people of the state are suffering because the ruling party has handed them over to robbers, rioters and criminals.
“As long as the three enemies of the country – corruption, nepotism and appeasement – are among us, it will be difficult to fulfil the resolution to make India a developed nation,” Modi told the gathering.
“Be it Congress MLAs or ministers, everyone is unruly and the public is suffering,” he said. “The Congress has handed over the people of Rajasthan to robbers, rioters, tyrants and criminals.”
“Today, even children in Rajasthan are saying ‘Gehlot ji, you won’t get votes’,” he added.
Modi also targeted the Congress over the law and order situation in Rajasthan, saying its ministers have been seen standing with those who committed atrocities against sisters and daughters.
“The BJP’s priority is to ensure women’s welfare and safety,” Modi said.
He added that the morale of anti-social forces in Rajasthan is high due to Congress support.
