Remember this.”Continuing his attack on the Congress, the prime minister said,”BJP considers the entire country as a family. Congress considers their family bigger than the nation. BJP has raised the pride of the country while Congress has been abusing the country when they go to foreign land.”
“..’Modi mauj karne ke liye paida nahi hua’. ‘Modi toh mehnat karne ke liye paida hua hai’ (Modi wasn’t born to enjoy, but to work hard). A lot must have happened but whatever has happened in the last ten years is just a trailer,” Modi said.ALSO READ: Modi targets Rahul Gandhi over ‘fire’ remark: ‘Is this language of democracy?’
“Congress is responsible for the poverty that prevailed in the country for 60 years after Independence. It was only because of the Congress that India was dependent on other countries for technologies and defence equipment,” PM Modi said. “Congress never allowed our armed forces to become ‘atmanirbhar’ (self-reliant). Under Congress’ rule, India was known as the biggest importer of weapons. However, under BJP’s rule, India is now becoming an exporter of weapons,” he added.Rajasthan will vote in two phases on April 19 and 26 in the Lok Sabha elections.
