BJP, NDA Always Stood With Sikh Traditions: PM Modi Ahead Of Punjab Polls
NDTV
Punjab Polls: The NDA has a vision of 'nawan' (new) Punjab and a track record of delivering on the ground, said PM Modi at a virtual rally.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said it is only the National Democratic Alliance that has a vision of a 'nawan' (new) Punjab to develop its agriculture and industry and the state does not need the "hollow promises" of other parties.
Addressing a virtual rally for assembly segments of Ludhiana and Fatehgarh Sahib parliamentary constituencies, PM Modi said the BJP and NDA allies have always stood with Sikh traditions and can take them forward with the right intention.
Attacking the Congress, he accused the grand old party of indulging in the massacre of Sikhs. "But we got the guilty of genocide punished," said PM Modi, in an apparent reference to the 1984-anti-Sikh riots.
"Congress could not keep Kartarpur (Sahib) in India. But we opened the way to Kartarpur," he said.
