PM Modi Criticizes Congress in Haryana Rally
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a rally in Palwal, Haryana, launched a strong attack on the Congress party. He revived the ‘urban naxal’ accusation and criticized Congress for its stance on Article 370 and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Article 370 and PoK
Modi pointed out that while Congress claims it will restore Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, it has never mentioned reclaiming PoK. He accused Congress of fragmenting Kashmir and not fully implementing the Constitution in the region.
Accusations Against Congress
Modi alleged that Congress is against the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and has plans to end reservations for Dalits and backward classes, using Haryana as a test state. He claimed that Congress has polarized people for votes and aims to end reservations for these communities.
Haryana Elections
Modi highlighted the infighting within the Congress party in Haryana and stated that the Dalit community is particularly angry with Congress. He emphasized that Haryana has a history of forming the same government in the state as the one in power at the center.
Haryana will go to the polls on October 5 to elect its 90-member state legislative assembly, with counting set to take place on October 8. In the 2019 elections, the BJP emerged as the single largest party, securing 40 seats, while Congress won 30 seats.
