"Congress is holding rallies not to win elections but to save corrupt": PM Modi in Ajmer

Ajmer (Rajasthan) [India], April 6 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked the Congress on the issue of corruption and said that the opposition party is in panic as the BJP has shut their "shop of loot" and is holding rallies not to win the elections but to "save the corrupt (INDIA bloc)."
Addressing the rally in Rajasthan's Ajmer, PM Modi called the Congress a party of "dynasts and corrupts."
"The Congress Party is not holding rallies to win the elections, it is holding rallies to save the corrupt. No matter how much they keep saying this, Modi's fight against corruption will continue," the Prime Minister said.
Earlier on March 31, all leading Opposition leaders came together and shared the stage at the Ramlila Maidan to register their protest over Arvind Kejriwal's arrest in the case.
PM Modi said that whatever has been done no matter how much or how good it is- it is just a "trailer."
"The big names, the big people of the Congress and royal families who curse Modi, this is their political strategy. They are angry with Modi because Modi stands like a rock with the villages and the poor of the country. They considered looting public money their ancestral right. Modi has permanently cured the disease of their looting in the last 10 years. Modi has brought down the shutters of their looting shop, that's why they are panicked," PM Modi said condemning Congress and its allies' misrule.
"Congress' INDIA Alliance is upset with Modi. The more mud you throw, the more the lotus will bloom. I say remove corruption, they say save the corrupt," said he added.
Highlighting the government's achievements in women's welfare, PM Modi emphasized the importance of inclusive development and reiterated his vision of making India the world's third-largest economic power by 2047.
"Just like the poor and marginalized, Congress has never cared about women empowerment. Generation after generation after independence, the lives of millions of daughters in the country suffered due to Congress. The happiness, convenience, respect, security, and prosperity of mothers, sisters, and daughters are Modi's guarantee," he added.
"If the intention is right then the result is right. Today the daughters of the village are flying drones. Today our daughters are doing wonders in the sports field. Today women are handling major projects of ISRO. Today, India has the highest percentage of women pilots in the world," he asserted.
The Prime Minister reassured the audience of his dedication to serving the nation and urged voters to support the BJP candidates in the upcoming elections in Rajasthan.
He said, "Modi's fight against corruption will continue. And the third term of my government is not far away. In the first 100 days, the BJP government is gearing up to take even bigger decisions against corruption. Preparation for this has also begun. That's why I say - what you saw in the last 10 years was just a trailer. There is much more to come."
Reflecting on the contrast between the governance under previous coalitions and the BJP's majority government, PM Modi remarked on the challenges faced by the nation during Congress rule, including corruption, security threats, and developmental stagnation.
He commended the BJP's efforts in initiating transformative schemes like direct benefit transfers, rural electrification, and infrastructure projects, particularly in Rajasthan.
Speaking on the auspicious occasion of the Sthapana Diwas of the BJP, PM Modi emphasized the spiritual significance and valorous history of the region, paying homage to revered figures like Veer Tejaji Maharaj, Meera Bai, and Prithviraj Chauhan.
"Today, on April 6th, the Bharatiya Janata Party was founded. It's auspicious that I have the privilege to visit the Pushkar region today. This region has a connection with the lotus, and the BJP is spreading the lotus across the nation. Hence, the entire country is saying, 'Phir Ek Bar, Modi Sarkar, 4 June 400 Paar," said PM Modi.
PM Modi underscored the significance of the 2024 elections, emphasizing that it's not an ordinary event but a determinant of the nation's destiny for centuries to come.
He highlighted the transformational changes brought about by his government since 2014, emphasizing the focus on infrastructure development, border security, and economic progress.
"For decades, our country was governed by governments engaged in alliances, driven by their own interests. Compulsions of coalitions, self-interests. All this pushed the nation's welfare aside. During Congress' rule, life for villagers, the poor, and farmers was a struggle. Every day, newspapers either printed news of scams or terrorist attacks. But, from 2014, a significant change began in the country. After decades, the country got a full-majority government," he said.
"Within just 100 days of the BJP government, there's consensus on ERCP, which had been pending for years in Rajasthan. With ERCP, a major area of Rajasthan is about to see the end of its water crisis. The speed at which the country should develop, only the BJP can provide that pace," he added.
PM Modi reiterated his commitment to eradicating corruption and urged voters to strengthen his government's resolve by electing BJP candidates.
He emphasized the need for unity and collective efforts towards building a self-reliant and prosperous India.
Rajasthan will go to the polls in two phases, on April 19 and April 26. Polling for 12 Lok Sabha seats will be held in the first phase on April 19, while the remaining 13 seats will be polled in the second phase on April 26.
The counting of votes for all 543 Lok Sabha seats across the country is scheduled for June 4. (ANI)
