Mallikarjun Kharge Criticizes BJP and PM Modi Ahead of Haryana Elections
Charkhi Dadri (Haryana), October 2: Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, ahead of the upcoming Haryana elections, criticized the BJP and Prime Minister Modi for ignoring the needs of soldiers and farmers. He accused the party of prioritizing the RSS agenda over the welfare of citizens during a public rally on Wednesday.
Kharge said, “I want to say that all our (Congress) Prime Ministers have always worked for the country… Shastriji sent such a message by saying ‘Jai Jawan Jai Kisan.’ This is a Congress idea… The BJP doesn’t understand farmers; they only know the RSS agenda. There are no farmers in the RSS or BJP, so they don’t feel the farmers’ pain and continue instilling fear in them. The BJP does not care about soldiers and farmers. That’s why they don’t understand the struggles of farmers… They only help Ambani-Adani, not the farmers.”
He also criticized the BJP’s leadership in Haryana, saying, “Manohar Lal Khattar, who was Chief Minister for 9 years, was replaced by Nayab Singh Saini because both engines of the ‘double-engine government’ failed… They had to change the CM because they did not fulfill their promises. People still remember the development work done by the Hooda government. We do what we say, but they never fulfill their promises.”
Kharge accused the BJP of dishonesty, stating, “This BJP is the head of liars, and Modi Sahab is an expert in lying.”
Responding to Kharge’s statement, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, “…Mallikarjun Kharge is not well, he should take rest… But he always brings low-level political discourse… PM Modi will not be the PM because he wants, he will be the PM because the people want him to be the prime minister of the country… Wherever elections take place in the coming time, the results will be in the favor of the BJP party.”
Haryana goes to polls on October 5 to elect a 90-member state legislative assembly to form its next government, with the counting set to take place on October 8.
