In Haryana's Charkhi Dadri, PM Roars, 'Modi Will Stop Water To Pakistan And Bring It To You'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an election rally in Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri on Tuesday. Later, he will also address a rally in Kurukshetra today. PM Modi addressed the first of his four grand rallies in Ballabhgarh on Monday. In Ballabgarh, he had targeted the Congress party for opposing Triple Talaq Bill in the Parliament and said that the opposition party hoped to do politics of '"Muslim Vote bank" but the big decision was implemented without any opposition in the country. On Tuesday, PM Modi’s focus was more on issues related to farmers of Haryana. From water woes faced by the farmers to condition of daughters in the state, PM Modi spoke on various issues.

Hailing Haryana’s role in his flagship ‘Beti Bachao’ programme, Modi said, that ‘during my recent informal summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he said to me that he had seen 'Dangal' movie which showcased excellent performance of daughters of India. I felt really proud of Haryana on hearing this.’ ‘Had the villages of Haryana not stepped forward then 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' would not have been so widespread, effective & fruitful. Every person in Haryana says 'Mhari chhoriyaan chhoron se kam hain ke,'’ Modi said.

"For 70 years, water that belonged to Haryana's farmers flowed to Pakistan. Modi will stop that water and bring it to your house, “ the Prime Minister said amid loud cheers.
