PM Modi in Jaipur LIVE: 'BJP will snatch victory from hands of Congress and leave them in lurch'
With just two days left for campaigning for Rajasthan Assembly Elections, the campaigning has garnered steam with both BJP and Congress deploying its heavyweights. Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked off this campaign rally in Rajasthan by addressing a gathering at Hanumangarh. Launching a scathing attack on Congress, PM Modi said that the country has to suffer because of the mistakes made by them in greed for power. Raising the Kartarpur Corridor Row, PM Modi said that it was mainly because of the mistakes of the Congress party that the Corridor is in Pakistan today. He also attacked the Congress for perpetuating the 'dynastic rule' and turning a blind eye towards the farmers' problems.
During his second address in Sikar, PM Modi launched a blistering attack on Congress over commencing his rallies with the slogan 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' He said; "Bharat Mata Ki Jai", doesn't enthusiasm and a new zeal engulf you. However, Congress Naamdaar [Rahul Gandhi] doesn't agree. In fact, he has taken out a fatwa against me that I should not start my rallies by saying "Bharat Mata ki Jai"! How dare he! 125 years ago, the members of the Congress, with freedom on their mind, used to set out to participate in the freedom struggle! "Bharat Mata ki Jai" is a chant that the soldiers use to defeat enemies on the border! How dare the Naamdaar tell me not to use it".
PM Modi also lashed out the Congress party for asking proof of surgical strikes. He said; "the Congress party humiliates the jawans of this country. When the Surgical Strike was successfully accomplished, the nation was rejoicing, while the Congress mourning. The Congress doesn't place its trust in the Indian Army. It asks for proof -- videos and documents -- of the Surgical Strike! Pakistan got to know of Surgical Strike, but those who gave birth to Pakistan [dig at Congress] didn't believe!
During his final rally in the capital city of Jaipur, PM Modi said that BJP will snatch victory from Congress's hands and eliminate them completely. He also urged the people of the state to vote for BJP has it stands for 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'. Lashing out the previous UPA government, he said; "During the UPA's times, one would read of a new scam running into crores of rupees. But, has that happened during the time of Modi's administration. At best, you'll read of the Congress attacking Modi on his caste or his father's name. I dare the Congress to come and speak to me on real issues".

06:10 pm: The Congress has also been eating into the subsidies that were being offered to the beneficiaries. In fact, it was found that 6.5 crore beneficiaries did not even exist. They were benaami! Where was this money going? After the Modi government came to power, we saved Rs. 90,000 crore from these subsidies, which were in the form of pensions, scholarships, schemes for widows, etc : PM Modi in Jaipur
06:07 pm: During the UPA's times, one would read of a new scam running into crores of rupees. But, has that happened during the time of Modi's administration.

06:03 pm: Congress, sitting in AC rooms, was certain that even if BJP wins in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, they will win Rajasthan just because it is a swing state. But, Rajasthan will become a case study, where the BJP will snatch victory from the hands of the Congress and will leave them in the lurch: PM Modi in Jaipur
06:00 pm: During the UPA rule, India was one of the "Fragile Five" in the world. At that time, Rajasthan was one of the BIMARU states. Now, Rajasthan is amongst the top five states, thanks to the Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas policy of the BJP!
05:58 pm: During the time of UPA, people used to form queues in front of agencies to get a cylinder of LPG. In the last 65 years of independence, a total of 13 crore gas connections were given.

05:55 pm: In the last 65 years, the Congress has made only 11 medical colleges. On the other hand, incumbent chief minister Vasundhara Raje made 11 medical colleges. So you decide which type of government you want -- one that works in 65 years, or the one that votes in 4 years
05:52 pm: A government is elected so that your lives are made more convenient, there is development, the country progresses. So that hospitals, air travel are made more affordable. So that the poor can afford to lead a basic standard of life: PM Modi in Jaipur

3:52 pm: In 2008, when the Naamdaar promised farm loan waiver, the farmers of the country were indebted with Rs. 6 lakh crore. The government waived off loans only worth Rs. 87,000 crore! Not only that, later the CAG report pointed out that from the total beneficiaries of the loan waivers, 65 lakh weren't even farmers! Where did that money go? : PM Modi in Sikar
03:44 pm: "Earlier, a Congress veteran called the Chief of Army Staff as a "Sadak-Chhaap Goonda" (a goon). Would you ever place your trust in such a party.
Many leaders of the Congress party have been arrested on the charges of corruption, money laundering, and rape. They are still doing fine in jail!" : PM Modi in Rajasthan
03:40 pm: I want to laud Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje for her efforts to improve the sex ratio in the districts of Sikar and Jhunjhunu from 850/1000 to 960/1000.

03:37 pm: The kin of soldiers has been demanding One Rank One Pension (OROP) since the last 40 years -- during the tenure of Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and the remote control government of 'Madame' [Sonia Gandhi]. But, their demands fell on deaf ears. After the Modi govt came to power, we allotted 600 crores for OROP: PM Modi in Sikar
03:35 pm: The Congress Party humiliates the jawans of this country. When the Surgical Strike was successfully accomplished, the nation was rejoicing, while the Congress mourning.

Pakistan got to know of Surgical Strike, but those who gave birth to Pakistan [dig at Congress] didn't believe! : PM Modi in Sikar
03:22 pm: The Congress was not hopeful of winning in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh anyway. They thought they will win Rajasthan just because it is a swing state. Former CM Ashok Gehlot, when asked about being CM candidate, told a newspaper " Do you ever know who becomes a crorepati?". This reflects the attitude of Gehlot. He is eying to hoard the taxpayer's money if and when he comes to power: PM Modi in Sikar.
03:18 pm: By saying, "Bharat Mata Ki Jai", doesn't enthusiasm and a new zeal engulf you. However, Congress Naamdaar [Rahul Gandhi] doesn't agree.
