Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (09 November) asked voters to strip the Congress of power for at least 100 years, calling it "expert" in reversing the country's progress, as reported by The Telegraph.
The PM is speaking at a rally in Chhatarpur in Madhya Pradesh, where assembly elections will be held in a single phase on 17 November.
Modi said, "like a car that takes us in the opposite direction, the Congress is also an expert in reversal and an expert in converting from good governance to bad governance."
He added that when Congress came to power in MP, it did nothing to solve the water problems of Bundelkhand, which has a rich heritage of water bodies about 100 years ago, and people were wishing for a drop water for a long time.
As for the Congress, Modi said, their own interest was paramount and not that of the country and had nothing to do with development.
Modi further said Congress leaders were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and for them, making fun of poverty is “adventure tourism”.
He also emphasised that for Congress, the entire country starts with Delhi and ends with it only. Whenever (Congress) leaders took their "foreign" friends outside Delhi, they just took them out to show “poverty in slum areas" and conducted "photo sessions” with them.
He added, “but today Modi is providing them pucca houses.”
