Targeting Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal on Friday said that the Congress leaders in Haryana have lost faith in their party president and felt ashamed in seeking votes in the name of their party chief.
Manohar Lal, while addressing the Vijay Sankalp rally here in support of party’s nominee for Ambala Lok Sabha seat Rattan Lal Kataria, said that the so-called master plan made by Rahul Gandhi for his party’s success is frightening the Congressmen who are feeling certain of their defeat.
He said that from Kashmir to Kanyakumari there is decisive wave in favour of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s victory as electorate has made up its mind to see the return of the BJP government.
In the election phases held so far, voting has been for Modi and in the remaining phases also, people are waiting to vote for Modi, he said.
The Chief Minister said that Rahul Gandhi is no match for Modi during the Lok Sabha elections in world’s biggest democracy.
Cautioning the voters, Manohar Lal said that representatives of many parties will come seeking votes detailing the work done by them during the past seven decades, but people should not fall into their trap as their campaigning is based on falsehood.
He sfurther aid that on the other hand BJP is detailing the achievements of its five year rule which is over shadowing the 70 year rule of the main opposition Congress. People should vote after considering the situation in totality, Manohar Lal said.
He added that the whole country trusts Modi unlike Rahul Gandhi who has lost the faith of his won partymen.
Referring to Congress manifesto assuring to end sedition laws, AFSPA and reduce the powers of the defence forces, Manohar Lal said that the defence forces personnel felt demoralised due to these proposals. In such circumstances why would the defence personnel protect the borders, he questioned.
He said that the foremost requirement is of all being nationalist. BJP is committed to protect the unity, integrity and security of the country and the government has given a free hand to the defence forces to deal with the threats from terrorists and separatists elements, he added.
The Chief Minister said that the party would not allow anyone to intrude into the country and do damage.
He also questioned the mentality of those questioning the air strike and the Pulwama attack on the CRPF convoy.
The Chief Minister also highlighted various development programmes, including Ayushman Yojna, Ujjawala Yojna, Crop Insurance Scheme and employment on merit initiated by the BJP to ensure welfare of all sections of the society including women, youth, farmers and the poor.
Manohar Lal appealed to the voters to press the button of Lotus (BJP) during the forthcoming rounds of voting, including on May 12 in Haryana, so that the Congress is routed during the counting of votes on May 23.
