INDIAN prime minister Narendra Modi on Friday (7) launched a scathing attack on the ruling Indian National Congress in the central state of Chhattisgarh, which is due to go to polls later this year, mocking the latter’s efforts to stitch an opposition unity at the national level ahead of next year’s parliamentary elections.
He also said that he is not afraid of conspiracies and that who is afraid cannot be Modi.
Addressing a rally in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh which the Congress has been ruling since 2018, when Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lost power after a 15-year rule, Modi said, “Those stained are trying to come together today. Those who used to curse each other, they have now started finding excuses to come together.”
He then said that if the Congress is a guarantee of corruption, he himself is a guarantee of action against corruption.
“Every corrupt person in this country should listen to one thing with open ears. If the Congress is the guarantee of corruption, then Modi is the guarantee of action on corruption.”
“These people will follow me, threaten to dig my grave, hatch conspiracies against me. But they do not know, the one who gets scared cannot be Modi,” he said.
Taking on the Congress further, Modi said corruption is in the core of the Congress and it cannot even breathe without corruption.
“Corruption is the biggest ideology of Congress,” he said.
The BJP is trying to produce its best possible results in the upcoming elections in five states, namely, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana and Mizoram besides Chhattisgarh.
The BJP is in power in Madhya Pradesh while its ally party Mizo National Front in Mizoram.
Modi also expressed condolences at the rally over the death of three people who were going to his rally on Friday morning.
Speaking at the rally, he expressed condolences to the three people who lost their lives while coming to the event this morning. Some people were also injured.
In Raipur, Modi also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for several projects, including five national highway projects worth approximately Rs 6,400 crore (£606 million).
