Apr 06, 2024
Ajmer (Rajasthan) [India], April 6 : Alleging that the Congress party never bothered about the poor, downtrodden, underprivileged, or youth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that development can never happen under Congress.
Addressing the public rally in Ajmer, PM Modi said that Rajasthan is moving ahead towards greater heights of development under the BJP rule.
"Wherever there is Congress, development can never happen. Congress never bothered about the poor, downtrodden, underprivileged, youth. For the Congress, it can be said 'ek to karela, dusra neem chadha'. One is a family-oriented party and it is also an equally corrupt party. " the Prime Minister said.
He further said that the women, farmers, labourers and the youth found it difficult to survive during the regime of Congress.
"During the time of Congress, it had become difficult for the villagers, the poor, the farmers, the labourers, the youth, the women etc to survive. Every day either news of scams or news of terrorist attacks were published in the newspapers. But from 2014 a big change started in the country," he added.
"Remember today, how many decades coalition governments ran in our country. The compulsions of coalitions and everyone's personal interests... in all this, the country's interest was left behind," he said while stressing that coalition governments are detrimental to the country's interests.
