During a spirited address at an election rally in Barmer, Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the sanctity of the Constitution, likening it to revered scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita, Quran, Ramayan, and Bible. He asserted that the Constitution is sacrosanct and impervious to alteration or harm, dismissing allegations by the Congress that the BJP would tamper with it if re-elected.
PM Modi denounced the Congress for allegedly distorting facts and using the Constitution as a tool to attack him personally. He recalled how the Congress, during its tenure, opposed the celebration of Constitution Day, which he deemed as disrespectful to the architect of the Constitution, Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Accusing the Congress of resorting to deceitful tactics ahead of elections, PM Modi lamented the party's historical neglect of border areas and delay in developmental projects like the Barmer refinery. He pledged to prioritize the upliftment of bordering villages and assured that the refinery's inauguration, stalled by the Congress, would happen during his third term, promising a surge in employment opportunities.
Drawing parallels between Barmer and Gujarat's Kutch, PM Modi highlighted the transformative development in Kutch and vowed to replicate the success in Barmer. He criticized the Congress manifesto, alleging parallels with the Muslim League and questioning its stance on India's nuclear arsenal.
Asserting the need for a robust India, PM Modi criticized the Congress for allegedly undermining national interests by opposing significant initiatives like the Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Temple and the Citizenship Amendment Act.
In a bid to rally support, PM Modi invoked the legacy of late BJP leader Jaswant Singh, urging voters to uphold the party's ideals and ensure victory in Barmer. He promised comprehensive solutions to longstanding issues in Rajasthan, particularly in water management, through initiatives like the Jal Jeevan Mission.
In conclusion, PM Modi reiterated his commitment to empowering India while criticizing the Congress for its perceived disregard for the nation's cultural heritage and security concerns.
