Addressing a massive rally at Bangarapet, PM Modi said these elections were not about who would win or lose, but, fulfilling aspirations of people. He accused the Karnataka Congress leaders for patronising courtiers who only bowed to Congress leaders in Delhi not the aspirations of the people.
Shri Modi said that Congress culture, Communalism, Casteism, Crime, Corruption and Contractor system were the six evils which the Congress party stood for.
Taking a jibe at the former PM Dr. Manmohan Singh, PM Shri Narendra Modi remarked, “During the UPA Government, there was one Prime Minister and one remote control. In the NDA Government, our remote control and the high command are the 125 crore people of India. Whatever the high command- the people of India tell me, I will do.”
Hitting out at the Congress President, the PM said, “Yesterday someone made an important declaration- he said, “I am going to be PM!” He came like those bullies, barging his way ahead when there are others who have many years of experience. How can someone just declare himself as the PM? This is simply nothing but arrogance.”
“To remove Modi, there are big meetings being held. How will the big leaders who attend these meetings react to this sudden announcement by one ‘Naamdaar’ that he is going to be PM”, Shri Modi added further.
He accused the Congress to be involved in deals. Shri Modi quoted one of the posts of Congress MP and former Karnataka CM Shri Veerappa Moily blaming a PWD Minister for deal-making and that Congress will have to solve their “money problem”.
Shri Modi also took note of how the Congress misled the Dalit, SC and ST communities and did nothing for their welfare. He said that lies and rumours were being spread by the Congress as elections were nearing. He assailed the Congress for humiliating and disrespecting Dr. Babashaeb Ambedkar and babu Jagjivan Ram.
Exuding confidence in the BJP, Shri Modi said that Congress fears defeat in these elections and because of this they are spreading lies that there would be a hung assembly in Karnataka.
Continuing his tirade against the Congress party, he said, “Congress only wants to remain in power. In 1978, Indira Ji came here, took your votes but never cared for people of this region. Congress never thought about welfare of people of Chikmagalur. Sonia Ji too contested from Bellari, but what happened to promises made in Bellari.”
Accusing the Congress of being power hungry, Prime Minister remarked that throughout the day, a Congress leader thinks only about one thing – how to be the Prime Minister? Such is the arrogance of the ‘Naamdaars’.
“A Congress Leader thinks that the Prime Minister’s seat is reserved for just one family. He thinks that the seat is his right. Congress barely got 40 seats in the Parliament. His ego is such that he comes to Karnataka and says that he will become the prime minister in 2019,” PM Modi added.
Addressing a well attended public rally in Chikamagalur, he said that Congress party, after facing defeats in every election, are busy criticizing the EVMs and the Election Commission. For them EVM, EC, CAG, CBI and ED are wrong and only Congress is right.
Referring to Congress leaders, PM Modi said that they are out on bail in a Rs. 5000 crore scam and now they question the judiciary and even call for impeachment of the Chief Justice.
Speaking about Congress seeking proves on the Centre’s every steps, Shri Modi said when our army conducts surgical strikes, instead to appreciating the valour of our Jawans, Congress shamefully calls them wrong and asks for proofs. Also, when the World Bank and other rating agencies present reports on India’s easing business environment and the country’s growth, then also Congress alleges that they are wrong.
