Jamshedpur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday targeted the Congress and its leader Rahul Gandhi, saying any industrialist will think 50 times before investing in Congress-ruled states because of the ‘prince speaking the language of Maoists’. Addressing an election rally here, PM Modi also accused Congress of patronizing dynastic politics and considering the Lok Sabha seat as ‘family property’.
The Prime Minister indirectly attacked Gandhi, saying, “The language used by the Congress prince will make any industrialist think 50 times before investing in states ruled by the party…The prince is speaking the language of Maoists.” And they are collecting money in new ways.”
Earlier, former Congress president Gandhi had said in New Delhi on Saturday, “I am ready to debate with Prime Minister Modi anytime and anywhere, but I am sure he will not come. The first question I will ask Prime Minister Modi is what is his relationship with Adani…”
Rahul Gandhi had said, “The Prime Minister talks about Congress getting a lot of money from Adani-Ambani, but he does not have the courage to get it investigated.” In the Jamshedpur rally, PM Modi campaigned for BJP’s Vidyut Baran Mahato. The Prime Minister said that they have broken the backbone of the Naxalites, but the Congress and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) have taken the responsibility of “fund raising”.
PM Modi said, “I challenge the Chief Ministers of the states ruled by the Congress and ‘India’ coalition to answer whether they agree with the anti-industry language of their prince.” Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi over his decision to contest from Rae Bareli Lok Sabha seat, he said that Congress’s ‘princes’ have arrived in this constituency, saying, “This is the seat of my mother, an eight-year-old school-going boy. “Won’t even say.”
Prime Minister Modi said, “His mother (Sonia Gandhi) said that she is handing over her son to Rae Bareli… She did not find even a single dedicated party worker… The voters of Rae Bareli ask her where she was when people were suffering due to the Covid pandemic. Was in trouble during.” He alleged, “Congress is writing a testament; They consider the Parliament seat as family property.” Attacking the opposition alliance ‘India’, the Prime Minister said that Congress and JMM have nothing to do with the development of the country as they are completely immersed in corruption.
The Prime Minister said, “Congress is the mother of corruption, it has been involved in many scams including coal and 2G scams… JMM and Congress are not concerned about industries… Jharkhand, despite its rich resources, is full of black money lying with corrupt leaders. Known for. They did not even spare the army and grabbed its land…The former Chief Minister of Jharkhand (Hemant Soren) is in jail on corruption charges.”
The Prime Minister also assured the people that he will recover the ‘looted public money’ in the state from corrupt leaders and return it to the poor who own it. PM Modi also accused Congress of depriving people of basic facilities and said that during the previous rule of that party, the condition of 18,000 villages was like that of the 18th century.
He said, “Modi provided Jan Dhan accounts to 52 crore people, permanent houses to 4 crore people, electricity to 18,000 villages along with clean tap water, modern railways and improved infrastructure.” The Prime Minister also alleged that the Jharkhand government was creating obstacles in the way of the proposed Dhalbhumgarh airport in East Singhbhum.
