The Congress party has "psychologically defeated" the Prime Minister, said senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday in J&K's Poonch district.
Addressing a large NC-Congress election campaign rally in the Surankote area of Poonch district, Rahul Gandhi said, "BJP and RSS people in J&K and other states spread hatred and violence. They make brother fight against brother.". They know only how to spread hatred; their politics is based on hatred. Hate can never be conquered by hate. It can be only conquered by love. On one side, they are there spreading hate and on the other side, we, who want to open the shop of love. So, during our Bharat Yatra, we opened the shop of love in each state in India.
"Narendra Modi of today is not a shade of what he was in the past. They bring laws and we oppose them and they cannot pass laws now. We have defeated the psychology of Narendra Modi. When he came under pressure during the Lok Sabha polls, he said he was not 'biological' pretending to be in direct connection with God.". This proves that we have overcome him psychologically by defeating his hatred with love," said Gandhi, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha.
"In India, UTs are carved out of states, states are bifurcated into two states but never in our constitutional history a state has been bifurcated into a UT. Today your democratic right has been snatched. We will put enough pressure on them to restore your statehood, Rahul Gandhi said.
"Today, all your decisions are taken from Delhi, but we want your decisions should be taken in J&K. We wanted statehood before the election, but they did not do it. They divide people on the basis of region, language and community. They are trying to divide Gujjars and Paharis. We will carry everybody together, give all of them their rights and move forward together," said the Congress leader.
Commenting on the job scenarios, he said that Narendra Modi is helping only two to three billionaires in the entire country. He has waived off loans worth Rs 16 lakh crore of billionaires. He has finished small industries and because of this employment is not available in the country, including J&K.
"Congress candidate is fighting from here and NC is supporting us. I appeal to all my workers to support NC candidates wherever they are fighting elections," said Gandhi.
National Conference president, Dr Farooq Abdullah also accompanied Rahul Gandhi to Surankote where he addressed the Congress poll rally.
Abdullah said, "The future PM of India, Rahul Gandhi is here today and our war is against the hatred spread by BJP and RSS.". They first tried to divide people on the basis of religion and now they want to divide us in the name of communities. This PM says Muslims are intruders and they produce a lot of children. He tells our Hindu sisters and daughters that Muslims will snatch their 'Mangalsutra'. We joined hands to fight this. I look for the BJP candidate, Chowdhary Akram to drop out of the race and supports NC-Congress candidate in Surankote. If you want to finish hatred, cast your vote for the Congress.
"Rahul Gandhi says he wants to stop the shop of hatred, but we add to his words that we want to sink the boat of hatred," Abdullah further said. He appealed to voters to cast their votes in favour of the Congress candidate in this Assembly constituency, Shahnawaz Choudhary.
