Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 21 accused the ruling Congress in Rajasthan of promoting corruption and nepotism, and pushing farmers into a debt trap by betraying their trust and failing to fulfil the promises made to them. Mr. Modi said the Congress had caused people’s suffering by handing them over to criminals and rioters.
Addressing three elections rallies during his whirlwind tour of the State, Mr. Modi said the Congress had cheated farmers and common people by increasing unemployment and inflation with its “flawed policies”. “Congress is a symbol of the evils afflicting India, preventing it from becoming a developed nation,” he said.
Mr. Modi addressed rallies in Baran, Kota and Karauli districts before heading to Jaipur, where he participated in a road show. He said the Congress’ support to criminal elements had boosted the morale of anti-social forces. “Every section of society, including women, farmers, traders and youths, wants to get rid of the Congress,” he said.
