The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, addressed an election rally in Kurukshetra Today
The Prime Minister said Kurukshetra is the land where truth triumphs over untruth, and where an epic that still inspires people - Mahabharata - was written on the battlefield.
Declaring that telling a lie is not necessary for winning elections, he said the people of Haryana were being misled. He strongly refuted allegations that the Union Government had imposed a ban on the export of basmati rice.
He said those who led the Governments of Haryana had done so only for their families, for the last 25 years. He criticized those who dream of taking oath from jail. He said his Government was running with the support of the 125 crore people of this country. He said he does not need support of those sitting in jails, or of goonda-mafia.
He said Kurukshetra had immense tourism potential, which should be fully developed.
The Prime Minister also said irrigation would be provided to farmers.
He said Japan, USA and China had promised massive investment in India, which would lead to employment opportunities for the youth.
He said if the people wanted Haryana to develop, then a stable state government with full BJP majority was necessary.
The Prime Minister criticized the forcible land and property acquisition in the state, and said this could not be allowed to continue. He said the state needed freedom from the influence of musclemen, and youth needed to be given skills to earn livelihood.
He said the Congress had not given an account of the work it had done for 60 years, and were seeking an account of sixty days of his Government.
He said there were 32 lakh families in the country who received a meagre pension of Rs 50 or 100 or 200 from the Union Government. He said the Union Government had taken a decision to keep the minimum pension at Rs. 1000.
The Prime Minister said he is confident that a BJP government with full majority would be formed in the state.
The Prime Minister highlighted the poor sex ratio of Haryana. He said there was a need to protect the mothers and sisters of Haryana.
The Prime Minister said today there was a new respect across the world for India. This was due to the decisive mandate given to the Union Government by 125 crore Indians. He said if the people wanted Haryana to make a name on the world stage, then a stable state government (with full BJP majority), was necessary.
Shri Narendra Modi said the atmosphere he is witnessing in Haryana is indicative of change.
