New Delhi: The BJP prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi addressed Shankhnaad Rally' in the Dehradun on Sunday.
Modi accused Congress government for plotting against Baba Ramdev.
“The energy they are investing against Baba Randev, if they put even half that towards victims of the Uttarakhand floods things would be different” said, Modi.
He also defended Baba Ramdev by saying that he is taking everyone together and working for the people, but that is offending Congress. The party is unnecessarily filing cases against him.
He condemned the Congress government in Uttarakhand of not doing enough for the people of flood hit region.
Did any of them trouble the Congress? Is this the way? We are thankful to Atal (Bihari Vajpayee) ji — he gave us Uttarakhand and that time Rajnath Singh was CM (of Uttar Pradesh from which Uttarakhand was carved). Shasan me koi apna aur paraya nahi hota...sab humare hote hain (Everyone should be equal in the eyes of a ruler).”
The state that has earned the tag of being the ‘Devbhoomi'(land of Gods) earned a special title from the three-time Gujarat CM. “We talk of SEZ (Special Economic Zone) but Uttarakhand is SEZ for years. It is ‘spiritual environment zone',” he said.
The results in the recently held assembly elections in five states had showed that the people were voting the Congress out of power, he said and added, “Results of five states are out and it is clear which way the wind is blowing. It is beginning of ‘Congress mukt Bharat'.”
