Addressing an election rally in Abohar, PM Modi also said that the BJP government will assure the security and development of Punjab. Here he said that this is my last rally in Punjab. wherever I went, it is visible that the people of Punjab have decided that they are going to form a double engine government. In this rally, Modi also retaliated on Chief Minister Charanjit Channi’s statement of brother of UP-Bihar.
The Prime Minister said, ‘The statement given by the Chief Minister of Congress. His masters of Delhi was standing and clapping on him. Whom are these people insulting with their statements? There will be no such village here, where our brothers and sisters of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar do not work hard. We have celebrated the birth anniversary of Sant Ravidas ji yesterday. I want to ask these leaders, where was Sant Ravidas ji born? Sant Ravidas was born in Kashi, Uttar Pradesh. You say that you will not allow the brothers of Uttar Pradesh to enter. So will you erase the name of Sant Ravidas ji also? What language do you speak?
Modi also attacked Rahul’s statement that India is not a nation. Such divisive thinking has no right to rule even for a moment, the Prime Minister said. Punjab is a border state. Bad eyes are always fixed on this. Therefore, the government that will be formed here should be a nation-first government. We cannot hand over Punjab in the hands of those who do not consider India as a nation.
