Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a rapid-fire election campaign in Gujarat, mauling the Congress and the INDIA bloc in a scathing, filthy critique of the two for what he called colluding with Pakistan to further their political stakes even at the cost of national interest.
The Congress attacked, PM Modi has made the switch of attacking the Congress from one corner to another by first referring to a rival alliance and then a crumbling one. He has attacked the Congress for its Pakistan connections, pointing out that former Pakistani minister Fawad Chaudhry has appreciated Rahul Gandhi for the potential leadership of Congress. He has even commented on Pakistan's longing to see Rahul Gandhi as the PM and thus raising the alarm bells about the Congress's alignment with Pakistan.
In Anand, PM Modi has critiqued the Congress for its links with Pakistan by making references to former Pakistani minister Fawad Chaudhry's admiration of Rahul Gandhi. He has commented on Pakistan's wish to see Rahul Gandhi as the next PM, which he described as alarming.
Pointing to a weakness in Congress, he has illustrated Pakistan's support for the Congress, hinting at the alleged dangerous alignment with the Congress.
Fawad Chaudhry has endorsed Rahul Gandhi's leadership, and the BJP has slammed him for this, which has brought to focus the supposed allegiance between the Congress and Pakistan.
PM Modi has then attacked the Congress and its leadership for spreading misinformation by citing his "fake factory." He has contrasted the NDA government's no-nonsense actions, such as the revocation of Article 370, with Congress's history of deceptions.
PM Modi also called out the Congress and the INDIA bloc for infusing communal rhetoric in the election by citing instances of Maria Alam, her controversial "vote jihad" remark. He has warned about the deadly nature of such divisive tactics, accusing the parties of attempting to divide communities for political benefit.
Clampdown against corruption—a sore point of previous UPA governments, PM Modi remembered all the scams that took a toll on India's reputation. He further reiterated the commitment of the present government in fighting corruption and ushering out transformational changes in the lives of people.
In all his rallies, PM Modi, however, portrayed the NDA government proactively taking national security and development in stride, which is apparently the complete opposite of Congress allegedly having failed in its responsibilities and having opted for deceitful tactics.
