MYSURU
(Karnataka), (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday
launched a scathing attack on the INDIA bloc led by the Congress, saying the
Opposition alliance wants to destroy the strength of Hindu dharma.
Addressing a massive gathering here, PM Modi said that
"the Congress has become the sultan of tukde tukde gang".
"The Congress wants to divide and break the nation,
and it wants to weaken the country. These intentions of the Congress are still
intact even today. The Congress-led INDIA bloc boycotted Ram Mandir Pran
Pratishtha, it rejected the invitation. They (Congress and INDIA bloc leaders)
never respected the Hindu faith. However, till Modi is here, till your
blessings are on Modi, the enemies won't succeed in their nefarious designs.
This is Modi's guarantee," PM Modi said at the rally.
"Modi always wants to give an account of governance.
But has Congress given its report card for 60 years of its governance? The
Congress only wants to create a crisis, and it only knows betrayal," PM
Modi said.
Criticising Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, PM Modi
said: "The Congress president asked what is the relationship of Kashmiri
people with other states when Article 370 was abrogated. The people of
Karnataka have seen how the Congress party had allotted the ticket as a gift to
those who spoke against India."
PM Modi further said that during the election, the
Congress leaders are seen taking permission to raise "Bharat Mata ki
Jai" slogans.
"Does one need to take permission to even raise
Bharat Mata ki Jai slogans?" he wondered.
"Can the people of the nation and Karnataka state
forgive the Congress? The Congress had opposed the slogan of Vande Mataram now
it is opposed to Bharat Mata ki Jai slogan. This is the height of Congress'
arrogance. The Congress is playing with fire for the sake of power," PM
Modi said.
Further addressing the crowd, PM Modi stated: "You
see (today) the rising stature of the country in the world. The respect for
India is only growing in the world. The Congress leaders who go abroad are
leaving no opportunity to show the country in a bad light."
