Mangaluru : “The political pundits who are still doubtful about the results of the Karnataka elections, who still think that there will be a hung Assembly, should look at the crowd right now,” “BJP will form government in Karnataka with full majority,” said prime minister Narendra Modi.
Addressing at Neharu Maidan Mangalore on Saturday prime minister said, “They have also started their propaganda. They keep saying that Modi tampered with EVMs. So, the EVMs work fine in the places in which they win and when they lose, they start singing about EVM tampering,” said Narendra Modi.
“But the Congress can say whatever it wants. They are going to get punished for the five years of corruption,” added the prime minister.
“Congress’ excuses will not work. The people who were sitting in the Parliament with support of 400 people, who did not face any opponents, got arrogant. The chief minister was not even ready to care for the people. That’s why all of Congress’ forts have now been demolished,” he said.
“After surgical strikes, they raised questions about the army. After poll defeats, they raised questions about the elections and Election Commission,” Modi said.
“Congress, which has seen power for 70 years, cannot even realise the responsibility upon them. Any person who cares about development in Karnataka will not stand with Congress,” he said.
“Congress opposed the Swachchta Abhiyan, as if that is an issue which should be opposed. If I talk about building toilets, they make fun of me,” the prime minister further said.
“If I talk about yoga, they have a problem with that too. They have decided not to go into the merit of any issue,” he added.
“After demonetisation, bundles of notes came out from a Congress leader’s residence. But I have decided that those who looted from the poor will have to pay to the poor,” Modi said.
“The Opposition has decided that they will criticise whatever Modi is associated with. International agencies are praising India. Then, they say that Modi has bought even these organisations. But if I wanted to buy something, I would’ve bought support in India rather than global agencies. I don’t engage in such activities. I just attempt to win the hearts of the people through hard work,” he added.
“The parivar of Congress went against all those who opposed them. If you go through the pages of history, you will see that one family ruined the lives of several great people,” the prime minister said.
“Family politics is a big threat to democracy,” said Narendra Modi. “That’s why they get so angry when I oppose them.”
“No matter how much you try, you will never be able to erase the truth. The people of this country know everything. Mafia gets opportunity to rise whenever family politics comes into the picture,” he said.
“In Karnataka, there is a government in power because of which there are mining, cable mafia apart from liquor and education mafia,” he said.
“We gave Karnataka government funds to build houses in the state. But the work was not being done because Modi kept watching to prevent corruption,” said Narendra Modi.
“We started the direct benefit transfer scheme. Rajiv Gandhi himself had said that the Re 1 which gets out of Delhi becomes 15 paise by the time it reaches the village. At that time, Congress was in power,” he said.
“When Congress was in power, stories of corruption of loss of money used to be in the media. These days, all the talk is about the kind of money gained by the country,” he said.
“I had once said from the Red Fort that families should also ask their sons about where and when they are going,” Narendra Modi said.
“We have made a law which will award death penalty to child rapists,” Modi said.
