Chhattisgarh polls: Modi targets PM, Sonia, Rahul

Raipur, November 14

BJP’s PM candidate Narendra Modi seems to have decided to take a jab on top three Congress leaders– PM Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi simultaneously in his every rally as his did it again at Raipur on Thursday while addressing a massive crowd by taunting the trio and appealing to rid the nation from Congress. “The root cause of all problems is Congress led by these three leaders. Reject this party and make the country problem-free,” he said.

Jeering at the PM for addressing Congress workers’ rally at indoor stadium in Raipur recently, Modi said the economist-turned-politician could not understand public problem because he likes to play indoor games. “The PM does not know public pulse. This is the reason he, as a chairman of planning commission, feels that a person earning Rs 26 a day is not poor. He is a politician who has not won a Lok Sabha election. The root of the democracy is general elections and if the nation’s leader will assume the top office through Rajya Sabha then how would he set example,” he asked.

Lashing at UPA government’s economic policies he said the Rupee was in ICU due to policy paralysis. “There is no capital investment, corruption is in full bloom at Centre, Supreme Court is hitting the government almost on daily basis, the officers and ministers are going to jail on graft charges. Will the future of the country be safe in hands of the party represented by such people,” he questioned.

He said during their Chhattisagrh rallies, neither the PM nor Sonia and Rahul Gandhi mentioned about reasons of price rise in the country. “They should have told people what went wrong for which people had to face such grim situation,” he said.

Castigating Congress scion Rahul Gandhi, Modi said the Shahjada (prince) did not know anything about poor and hence say utter words like “poverty is a state of mind”. “Rahul must know that the people who die in floods, draught, due to extreme weather conditions and epidemic are poor,” he said.

Further pointing at Sonia Gandhi he said madam raised land acquisition cases in Chhattisgarh prominently but never dare to do so in Haryana or Rajasthan. “I advise Sonia Gandhi to deliver such speeches in a seminar in presence of haryana’s IAS officer Ashok Khemka,” he said.

He urged people not to get deceived by Congress and give vote to BJP in Chhattisgarh. “You give mandate to BJP and take assurance of your future,” he said.
