Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a mammoth election rally seeking support for BJP Government in Sagar on Wednesday. Pm Modi laid stress on the need of stable Government for development. He sought votes for BJP candidate from Sagar Lok Sabha area Lata Wankhede. He was overwhelmed on seeing the crowd cheering for him and said that an ocean of public support is being witnessed at Sagar. He was thankful to people for giving victory to BJP candidate with record votes in last election. He expressed hope that Sagar has once again made up its mind, ‘Phir Ek Baar, Modi Sarkar’. Further, PM Modi highlighted transformative development under BJP Government. He said that development happens when there are right policies and a clear vision. Therefore, whether it is the country or Madhya Pradesh, development came when Congress left and BJP came.
PM Modi appreciated the progress of Madhya Pradesh under the BJP Government by taking example of Ken-Betwa Link Project, Banda Major Irrigation Project and development of a comprehensive network of highways including expressways like Narmada Expressway, Vindhya Expressway and others. PM Modi said that Central Government has also given Madhya Pradesh gift of more than 350 rail projects. Medical colleges and hospitals have also been built in Sagar. PM Modi assured the crowd of continued support, saying, “I guarantee my mothers and sisters that there will be no need to worry about ration for next 5 years. We are working to bring gas, electricity, water and toilet facilities to every household to alleviate troubles of mothers and sisters.”
PM Modi criticised the Congress party’s agenda on reservation. A truth of the Congress has come before the country that everyone is stunned to know. The Constitution of India prohibits giving reservations based on religion. Congress is preparing to cut the quota of ST-SC-OBC by 15 % and then apply reservations based on religion. Last time, when there was a Congress government in Karnataka, it gave reservations based on religion. When the BJP Government came, it revoked this decision. Now once again, Congress has given reservations based on religion in Karnataka. He raised doubts on intentions of Congress through their manifesto, PM Modi said, “Congress is not stopping at just hurting you. Congress also wants to snatch your property. Even if you have two vehicles, one house in the city and one in the village, you will still come under Congress’ radar. They want to snatch all this from you and give it to their vote bank.” Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav, senior BJP leaders also addressed the gathering. Prior to this, he was welcomed in a grand manner by the party workers and leaders on his arrival at the venue of the election meeting.
