PM Modi slams Congress manifesto, says it reeks of attempts to disintegrate India

He alleged the document “reeks of an attempt to break India into pieces”.

It reveals intentions to disintegrate India, drawing parallels between its ideology and that of the Muslim League during the independence era, he said, reported India Today. “The same thinking is reflected in the Congress manifesto as was present in the Muslim League at the time of independence.”

PM Modi’s remark came while addressing an election rally in Rajasthan’s Ajmer.

“The Leftists have taken over whatever was left of this manifesto bearing the stamp of the Muslim League. Today, Congress is left with neither principles nor policies. It seems as if Congress has given everything on contract and has outsourced the entire party,” he said, according to the report.

PM Modi further intensified his criticism of the Congress regarding corruption, alleging that the party was actively shielding corrupt individuals.

“Wherever there is Congress, there cannot be any development. The Congress never thought about the poor, marginalised and youths... These people considered looting public money as their ancestral right. In the last 10 years, Modi has provided a permanent cure for the disease,” the prime minister said.

“It can only be said about the Congress – ‘ek to karela, uppar se neem chadha’. It’s a party of dynasties and equally a corrupt party... Modi has pulled down the shutter of their shop of loot. That is why they are in a panic,” he said, according to the report.

The Prime Minister reaffirmed his party's dedication to constructing a "new India." PM Modi emphasized to the people gathered at the rally that the choices made by the nation's citizens would shape the future for generations to come, the report added.
