Congress Spreading Vaccine Rumours, Abused Gen Rawat: PM Modi In Uttarakhand
NDTV
Uttarakhand Polls: Congress spread vaccine rumours for politics as it thought if things got back on track it will not have anything to speak against the government, said PM Modi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday accused the Congress of spreading rumours about Covid vaccines, saying the party did it for politics because it thought it will not have anything to speak against the government if things got back on track.
He also charged the party with abusing the country's first Chief of Defence Staff late Gen Bipin Rawat and asked people of Uttarakhand to give a befitting reply to it for this "insult" in the February 14 polls.
Addressing a rally at Rudrapur on the last day of campaigning in Uttarakhand, PM Modi said the BJP government carried out development works in the state and served the needy despite being confronted by the worst health crisis in 100 years - the Covid pandemic.
"People have realised that succour to the poor during the crisis like free rations under the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana would not have reached the people as smoothly as it did if any other party was in power," he said.
The MVA had only been given a (very) slim chance of upsetting the in-power BJP-led alliance's applecart in this election; only one of 11 exit polls studied by NDTV believed it can win.
