Country doesn't want poison of communalism, needs development: Modi

“People need skill and not machinations. They need jobs and not politics. They need safety and not the poison of communalism,” he said.

Modi asked the gathering to vote for BJP and its allies in Haryana and shun other parties who spoke about supporting his candidature for the post of the Prime Minister.  

BJP has aligned with Kuldeep Bishnoi-led Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) in the state while leaders of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) have reportedly made comments in the past saying that they could support Modi as PM if the need arose.  

“Don't see the situation through someone else's spectacles,” he said apparently weaving in a reference to ‘spectacles' which is INLD's election symbol. “It is only BJP's poll symbol ‘kamal' (lotus) which can make Modi the Prime Minister of India,” he said.
