MAHENDERGARH/ROHTAK/SONEPAT, Oct 8:
Seeking a clear majority for BJP in Haryana on the pattern of Lok Sabha polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today told the electorate that the upcoming Assembly elections were about deciding the fate of the state and they should rise above caste, religion, creed and sect.
Continuing with his series of rallies in this state which goes to polls on October 15, Modi said he wants to see the transformation from “Scam Haryana to Skill Haryana” as he targeted the ruling Congress and INLD.
Referring to three colors in the national flag and blue one in the ‘chakra’ in it, he underlined the need for “four-colour” revolution involving energy (saffron), crops (green), milk (white) and fishing sector (blue) to help India move ahead.
He said he favours good ties between the Centre and the states which, according to him, was not happening so far.
Focussing on Haryana which has 90 Assembly seats, he said “this election is not about who will win or which party will form the Government. This election is for taking the decision of Haryana’s fate.
“I urge the voters that while voting, you should come above caste, religion, creed and sect to elect a BJP Government with full majority in the state.”
While seeking full majority for BJP in the state, he promised to transform “Scam Haryana to Skill Haryana” amid his emphasis that he wants to strengthen the state’s ties with Delhi to improve its fortunes.
“I know that you are sad that Haryana is know as a state of scams. There are scams and then scams within scams. Our opponents are all involved in scams. Do you want a Scam Haryana? I want to create a Skill Haryana. You have to decided if you want a Scam Haryana or a Skill Haryana,” he said addressing a rally in Mahendragarh.
Asking people to elect a BJP Government that could lead the state on the path of speedy development, Modi said that in the last 25 years Haryana has not developed due to dynastic politics and questioned if the past elections or Governments were run democratically.
“If Dynastic politics continues, would your fortunes change? If Haryana has to live with dignity, we need it to be freed from dynastic politics. For last 25 years, four-five families have controlled Haryana and the common man’s life has become difficult.
He alleged that “They have done nothing except filling their family coffers.”
Seeking to reach out to the voters, he told them, “You have to decide whether you want a Haryana free from corruption. Do you want to see Haryana freed from bahubalis (musclemen) and the corrupt? Then you will have to choose a new path. The only way left now is to elect a BJP Government with full majority.”
He said Haryana has so far been run as a “fiefdom” and targeted the former Chief Minister and INLD chief O P Chautala, without naming him, as also Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
Attacking Hooda, he said, he and his family has ruled over the state for the last 10 years but the law and order situation was such that women did not feel safe and the plight of dalit women was even worse.
He said the present Government had the support of the former UPA Government for 10 years but they “took away the fertile land of farmers to make their leaders happy”.
Stressing on the importance of Centre-State ties and ‘Team India where the PM stood as a team with CMs, the Prime Minister said till now the Centre and the state stood next to each other but were not close enough and he wanted the two to stand with each other to create a force to reckon with.
“Till now, 1 plus 1 was two as the state stood next to the Centre. I want o change this mathematics so that 1 plus 1 becomes 11. I want to create that strength. This will help India become 11 times powerful and it would not take any time to change the fortunes of the country. (PTI)
