NEW DELHI: The defeat in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka assembly elections due to guarantees promised by the Congress seems to have taught the BJP a lesson. On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered two speeches – one in Delhi and the other one at Shahdol in Madhya Pradesh – and “Modi’s guarantee” was the refrain at both the places.
In both his speeches, the prime minister uttered the word “guarantee” several times. It seems to have been aimed at the Congress which promised 10 guarantees in the Himachal Pradesh assembly election held last year and five guarantees in the Karnataka assembly election held in May.
