'Congress prefers vote bank politics over vikas': PM Modi in Jodhpur

Addressing a public rally in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Congress and said that the grand old party is against Bharat.PM Modi said, "The BJP Government at the Centre is making every effort on its part for the development of Rajasthan. But it is painful to see the condition here...Congress has brought Rajasthan to the top of the country in terms of corruption and riots. It has made Rajasthan the number 1 in terms of atrocities against women and Dalits. Congress has given a free hand to the drugs business..."He added, "In five years, Congress Government did not walk even one step. The 'kursi ka khel' continued here round the clock...Have you heard about 'Lal Diary'? People say that the diary contains every misdeed of Congress' corruption. Tell me, should the secrets of the diary not come out in the open?...Should the dishonest not be punished?...Will Congress Government let the secrets of the diary come in open?...For the truth to come out, you will have to form a BJP Government."PM Modi stated that the paper leak mafia has ruined future of lakhs of youth in Rajasthan, they are demanding justice.Taking a dig at the Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, PM Modi said, "I am just coming from an official event, where I inaugurated or laid the foundation stone for projects worth over Rs 5,000 crore. It was a government event, but the CM was absent. He was not present because he is confident that 'everything will be fine when Modi arrives."He added, "When such is the condition of law and order situation, investment doesn't take place and business is ruined. But the Congress Govt loves its vote bank more than the welfare of Rajasthan. When Jodhpur was burning with riots, what was the CM doing? When violence erupted here and innocents were killed, what were the Congress leaders doing? Is Congress' first and last policy just appeasement?...A Congress MLA herself says that she is not safe, we can imagine what would be the condition of common girls & women..."This is a breaking story.
