BJP's only agenda is development, Congress involved in divisive tactics: PM Modi
Congress has been rejected comprehensively across the nation. Gujarat too will reject the Congress and will punish the Congress for their mis-governance: PM
This nation is my everything. Every moment of my time is devoted to India and 125 crore Indians: PM Modi
In every part of the nation, the Congress has misled the Muslim community and made fake promises of reservations for Muslims but in no state they fulfilled their promise: PM

PM Modi today lashed out at the Congress party for seeking votes in the name of caste. He slated them for divisive politics. He highlighted that the BJP's agenda was only development and urged people to elect a stable BJP government devoted to serve the people in Gujarat.

Campaigning in Lunavada, PM Modi launched attack on the Congress party for caste politics and divisive tactics. The PM said, “The BJP is asking for votes in these elections on our development agenda. Sadly, the Congress is asking for votes in the name of caste politics, divisive tactics.”

Adding further the PM remarked, “Congress has been rejected comprehensively across the nation. Gujarat too will reject the Congress and will punish the Congress for their politics.”

He mentioned how the Congress was completely wiped off in the recent civic body elections in Uttar Pradesh.

Attacking the Congress he further remarked about Salman Nizami’s derogatory tweet. He said, “There is a youth Congress leader Salman Nizami, he is even campaigning for Congress in Gujarat. He wrote on Twitter about Rahul Ji's father, grandmother. That is ok but he asks - Modi tell me who is your Mother, who is your father. Such language can't even be used for enemies.”

PM Modi also slammed Salman Nizami for his pro-Pakistan slogans. The PM said, “Salman Nizami asks on Twitter- Modi who is your father, who is your mother. Among the other things he says- he calls for Azad Kashmir. He calls our army rapists. How can the people accept such people like Salman Nizami. He also says there will be an Afzal from every home!”

The PM cautioned the Congress and said, “I want to tell all Congress leaders who are abusing me, mocking my poor family, asking who my parents are- this nation is my everything. Every moment of my time is devoted to India and 125 crore Indians.”

The PM alleged that in every part of the nation, the Congress had misled the Muslim community and made fake promises of reservations for Muslims but in no state they fulfilled their promise.

In Bodeli, the PM said, “Congress leaders are unable to understand and identify with the aspirations of the tribal communities and the farmers.”

The Prime Minister said that the BJP's vision for development was about scale and service delivery while Congress leaders fought polls on providing hand pumps.

The PM spoke at length about Government initiatives being undertaken for well being of people. He said that without development there was no other solution to the problems India faced. He highlighted how Mudra Yojana was empowering and strengthening the weaker sections across the country.
