Modi is expert at lying: Kharge accuses BJP of betryaing people's welfare during Haryana rally
Charkhi Dadri (Haryana), October 2, 2024 (ANI): Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, ahead of the upcoming Haryana elections, criticised the BJP and Prime Minister Modi for ignoring the needs of soldiers and farmers, accusing the party of prioritizing the RSS agenda over the welfare of citizens during a public rally on Wednesday.
He said, "I want to say that all our (Congress) Prime Ministers have always worked for the country... Shastriji sent such a message by saying 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan.' This is a Congress idea... The BJP doesn't understand farmers; they only know the RSS agenda. There are no farmers in the RSS or BJP, so they don't feel the farmers' pain and continue instilling fear in them. The BJP does not care about soldiers and farmers. That's why they don't understand the struggles of farmers... They only help Ambani-Adani, not the farmers."
"Manohar Lal Khattar, who was Chief Minister for 9 years, was replaced by Nayab Singh Saini because both engines of the 'double-engine government' failed... They had to change the CM because they did not fulfil their promises. People still remember the development work done by the Hooda government. We do what we say, but they never fulfil their promises", the congress President added.
Kharge also accused the BJP of dishonesty. He said, "This BJP is the head of liars, and Modi Sahab is an expert in lying."Ahead of his public rally, Kharge addressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments during an election rally.
He said, "We are demanding a caste census to bring in welfare measures. This does not mean that we are not patriotic. They have always worked against the country and the constitution... Patriotic people are only there in Congress. These were the people who bowed down in front of the British for their lives."
Responding to Kharge's statement, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, "...Mallikarjun Kharge is not well, he should take rest... But he always brings low-level political discourse... PM Modi will not be the PM because he wants, he will be the PM because the people want him to be the prime minister of the country... Wherever elections take place in the coming time, the results will be in the favour of the BJP party."
Haryana goes to polls on October 5 to elect a 90-member state legislative assembly to form its next government, with the counting set to take place on October 8. (ANI)
