Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a blistering critique of the Congress party during an election rally in Gujarat's Anand, alleging a clandestine alliance between Congress and Pakistan. Asserting that Congress' decline in India coincides with Pakistan's desire for its resurgence, Modi claimed that the partnership between the two entities is now glaringly evident.
He emphasized Pakistan's preference for a feeble government akin to that during the Mumbai attacks, contrasting it with his administration's robust stance, which he believes unnerves Pakistan.
Modi chastised Congress for its historical interactions with Pakistan, contrasting his government's proactive approach to terrorism.
He highlighted India's burgeoning global reputation, citing the Indian passport's recognition as a symbol of safety and esteem worldwide. Modi juxtaposed India's role as a peacemaker during global conflicts with Congress' purported focus on vilifying him and sowing division among people.
Accusing Congress of neglecting marginalized communities, Modi underscored his government's efforts towards their empowerment. He cited statistics of poverty reduction and housing initiatives aimed at providing a better life for the underprivileged. Modi also criticized Congress for its alleged apathy towards the interests of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and Other Backward Classes, contrasting it with his government's inclusive policies.
Challenging Congress from Sardar Patel's homeland, Modi demanded the party commit to unity, preservation of reservation quotas, and refrain from divisive politics. He likened Congress' manifesto to that of the Muslim League, accusing it of pandering to specific demographics.
Concluding his speech with aspirations for BJP's success in the forthcoming elections, Modi expressed determination to secure all 26 seats from Gujarat. He outlined his itinerary for subsequent rallies aimed at garnering support for BJP candidates across various constituencies.
In continuation of his campaign, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to address rallies in Surendranagar, Rajkot, and Bhavnagar Lok Sabha constituencies, followed by public meetings in Junagadh, Porbandar, and Amreli Lok Sabha seats. He will culminate his trip with a rally in Jamnagar, focusing on rallying support for BJP candidates.
