LIVE: Congress has created a 'scam India' in last 10 years, says Modi at Madanapalle (AP) rally

Madanapalle (AP): Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today blasted the ruling Congress party for creating a ‘scam India' in last 10 years of its rule.Addressing an impressive election rally at Madanapalle in Andhra Pradesh, Modi said, “We want a skilled India, but Congress has created a Scam India in 10 years.”“Give our farmers water and see the wonder they can do. Atal ji wanted to link Ganga and Cauvery. River linking will help farmers here, added Modi.Trying to connect with former CM of Andhra Pradesh late NT Rama Rao, Modi reminded the people that like NTR, he has also started his campaign after paying obeisance to Lord Jagannath. “NTR began every good deed by remembering Lord Venkateswara. I too started my campaign after paying my respects to Lord Venkateswara,” said Modi.Modi also tried to strike a chord with Andhra farmers and alleged that the Congress led UPa govt is discriminating against the farmers of the country.“Warehouses and storages for crops are required. Our railway works in a very strange fashion. If some marble has to be sent to a place and at the same time tomatoes are to be sent, marble would be given first preference. Thus our farmers suffer because tomatoes rot quickly. Today packaged food has become a success in the market. Earlier Kutch could not develop but today it is exporting packaged food,” said Modi.Modi reminded the audience that like him, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu's agenda is also development and he has done a lot for Andhra. Modi exhorted people to vote for TDP-BJP alliance.“So far voters have decided that this mother -son government is not going to come back to power. If you want the nation to develop, you need to ensure the victory of TDP-BJP alliance. Chandrababu's agenda is development and Modi's agenda is also development. Chandrababu has done a lot for Andhra.Here are the live updates of Modi's rallies:Modi's Guntur (Andhra Pradesh rally):04:19 pm: Modi concludes his speech04:18 pm: Modi: I request you to vote for Pawan Kalyan. He has been to villages to serve people. He has no political interests. Chandrababu has to be made Chief Minister, so be it cycle or lotus, vote for a strong government. 04:12 pm: Modi: Seemandhra - you have immense capacity of serving the nation. The youth here is very intelligent. You will soon institutes like AIIMS, IIT, etc. My dream is to provide you with electricity and employment. For the past 10 years crime is increasing in Andhra. With Chandrababu you will have good governance. I have come here to ask you to vote no matter how hot it will be on that day. To form a strong government of TDP – BJP you will have to vote. Congress has backstabbed you. Get NDA government in Delhi so that we are always there for you. 04:12 pm: Modi: Then our cloth can be exported and you will all benefit. Sugar and turmeric have become important for medicinal research. Farmers of Andhra are very hard working. Even if the Delhi government has abandoned you and left you as orphans, I will not leave you. You are not alone. 04:08 pm: Modi: For the past 10 years Andhra has been exploited. Vote for TDP – BJP to make Swarnandhra. Just as we cultivate cotton in Gujarat, you cultivate Kapas (unginned cotton). But this mother – son Congress government suddenly stopped cotton export. Owing to this, farmers suffered great loss. BJP has a 5 F formula for you – Farm, fibre, fabric, fashion, foreign. 04:07 Modi: Now YSR Congress serves the Congress. You have to decide…do you want the same to repeat? This election has reached a point where you have to decide whether you want a Swarnandhra or Scam Andhra. Nobody will want Scam Andhra. 04:05 pm: Modi: Bahadur Shah Zafar fought against the British. When he died, the British Government refused to give land for his burial. Narsimha Rao fought for economic liberation. This mother – son government refused to give land in Delhi for Narsimha Rao's burial. 04:03 pm: Modi: Sanjeev Reddy was made the President nominee but Indira backstabbed him. If anyone can be credited for reviving the Indian economy after Independence, then it is Narsimha Rao. He tried to fight the Congress party. 04:02 pm: Modi: I want to salute the women of Gunur. When they refused to pay money to the British they pulled out their ‘mangalsutra' but these mothers were adamant. Congress has become habitual of insulting the people of Andhra. Whosoever comes here insults you. Rahul's father, Rajiv Gandhi insulted the CM of Andhra Pradesh at the airport when he was not even the Prime Minister. Your CM felt so humiliated that he started crying. 04:00 pm: Modi: I want to remind my Telugu brothers of their history. You stood up to fight the British along with Sardar Patel. This land of Guntur fought with all its might. 03:58 pm: Modi: After moving around the entire country now I've come to Seemandhra. This election is being held to form a government in Delhi. But for Seemanthra it is not just about new government. You have to decide the future of the state.03:57 pm: Modi begins his speechModi's Madanapalle (Andhra Pradesh) rally:12:22 pm: Modi concludes his speech12:21pm: Modi: It's the hour's need to form a strong government in Delhi. 12:20 pm: Modi: So far voters have decided that this mother -son government is not going to come back to power. If you want the nation to develop, you need to ensure TDP and BJP's victory. Chandrababu's agenda is development and Modi's agenda is also development. Chandrababu has done a lot for Andhra. 12:17 pm: Modi: Why have they selected 2nd June for bifurcation of Andhra? They have selfish reasons for selecting 2nd June. Delhi government has destroyed the nation through corruption. Now we are known as ‘scam India'.12:16 pm: Modi: This mother – son government, Congress government - they have never missed an opportunity to humiliated Andhra Pradesh. 12:13 pm: Modi: If BJP comes to power then we will make Seemandhra a knowledge city. Lakhs of people go to gulf countries to work as laborers. I want to tell all the parents that your son is India's son. 12:10 pm: Modi: Warehouse and storage for crops is required. Our railway works in a very unique fashion. If some marble has to be sent to a place and at the same time tomatoes have to be sent, marble would be given first preference. Thus our farmers suffer because tomatoes rot quickly. Today packaged food has found a success in the market. Earlier Kutchh could not develop but today it is exporting packaged food. 12:09 pm: Modi: If Seemandhra gets water then it can turn water into gold. Atal Behari Vajpayee had planned linking of rivers. If this project is passed then my farmers will benefit most from it. 12:08 pm: Modi: I'm seeing since yesterday, Seemandhra is bestowing so much love upon me. You are here to hear me under this heat. I promise you I will not let your effort and love go in vain. 12:07 pm: Modi: Those who have looted Andhra for so many years, do you want to give power to those people? 12:04 pm: Modi: I was fortunate because I got to start my day by worshiping Lord Venkateswara. This election is being held to form a government in Delhi. But for Seemanthra it is not just about new government. You have to decide the future of the state. 12:04 pm: Modi greets everyone present. 12:03 pm: Modi begins his speech
