Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 7 launched a scathing attack on the Congress, alleging that corruption was its biggest ideology, and accused the grand old party of stalling the development of Chhattisgarh, where elections are due by the year-end.
Chhattisgarh has become an ATM for the Congress, the PM alleged while addressing a rally at the Science College ground in Raipur, where he inaugurated and laid foundation stones of eight projects worth around ₹7,600 crore.
In his first visit to the Congress-ruled Chhattisgarh after being elected as the Prime Minister for the second term in 2019, Mr. Modi said if the Congress was a guarantee for corruption, he himself was a guarantee for action against graft.
