Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday addressed a rally in poll-bound Punjab, where he launched a scathing attack on Congress, saying the party can do anything for its survival. He said that Congress entered into an alliance with SP in Uttar Pradesh after attacking it for months.
Here are the highlights:
#Will take our rightful share of Indus water and give it to Punjab
#Our fight against corruption would not stop. I want the entire Nation's support in fighting corruption
#When Indian Army conducted surgical strikes, the families of Punjab were the happiest
#Our Govt is fighting against corruption and have taken strong measures to tackle it. Few are feeling it's heat
#We feel proud of our brave soldiers. We implemented the One Rank, One Pension scheme
#For Badal Sahab, what matters is the poor, the farmers, the villages
#Badal Sahab spent years in public life but never changed parties or compromised on ideals. The only thing that matters for him is Punjab
#When he became CM for the first time, Shri Badal was India's youngest CM and since then he has constantly been working for the people
#For survival Congress does anything. They allied with Left in WB & in UP after months of attacking SP they are now allying with them
#Punjab wants to see Shri Parkash Singh Badal a CM again. He is a leader who always worked for Punjab
#In 2012 the Congress was so over confident about winning power. We saw what happened. No one can underestimate the people of Punjab
#Congress ka rang kya hai, roop kya hai, raah kya hai...pata hi nahi chal raha hai kuch
#No one ever cast aspersions on the youth of Punjab. We always had and continue to have faith of Punjab's youth
#Why are some people saying improper things about the youth of Punjab? Is it just for political interests? Such a discourse is not good
#Due to selfish interests & lacking the will for proper discussion, some people are trying to humiliate Punjab
#This election is about giving renewed strength to Punjab, the land of the brave and the courageous. This is a land of saints and Gurus
