Congress should be rejected for its perverted sense of vote bank politics, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses a campaign rally in Belagavi, Karnataka, urging voters to reject Congress for better governance.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a campaign rally in Sirsi in Uttara Kannada district on April 28, where he sought votes for party nominees Vishveshwara Hegde from Uttara Kannada and Prahlad Joshi from Dharwad.

He asked the people to reject the Congress that had a “perverted sense of vote bank politics”.

In Karnataka, the maladministration of the Congress government is not only leading to increasing crime rates, but also emboldening the criminal elements. Law and order has completely broken down.

“Neha, a young girl, was killed in her college campus in Hubballi. What encouraged the accused to do that? It is because they know that they will be saved by those who are hungry for vote bank politics. Will you forgive such parties that indulge in vote bank politics?,” he said.

“Congress is destroying Karnataka by supporting anti-social and anti-national mindset. Can you trust the Congress to protect your daughters after what happened in Hubballi? The whole country is worried,” he said.

“Before 2014, newspapers were full of headlines of bomb blasts. Now they have all stopped. But when the Congress comes to power, there is a bomb blast in Bengaluru. What is unfortunate is that some Congress leaders suspected it was a gas cylinder blast. Have they gone off their mind? The real accused were traced only when the NIA intervened,” he said.

He claimed that the Congress was seeking the support of banned organisations like PFI to win the Wayanad seat. “Joining such anti national forces like PFI is the track record of the Congress while our track record is to ban the organisation and arrest its leaders,” he said.
