'Congress manifesto reflects Muslim League's thoughts'; Modi slams Congress

AJMER: With just a few more days to go for the Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has severely criticised the Congress. He alleged that the Congress manifesto reflects the thoughts of the Muslim League during the time of the freedom struggle. The Prime Minister was addressing a rally held in Ajmer, Rajasthan today. Modi also accused that the aspirations of the people of the country are not reflected in the Congress manifesto.

"Every page of the Congress manifesto is full of efforts to dismember India. It reflects the thoughts of the Muslim League before independence. After the ideas of the League, the ideas of the left dominated the manifesto. They want to push India back into the past century. The Congress has never bothered about nari shakti (women power). Women suffered even after independence. Use your vote on April 19 to punish Congress," Modi said.

Modi said that he has a lot more things to do for India. He said that he wants to turn India into a developed country by 2047.

"My brave daughters could not join the Army, Modi opened those doors. I opened the doors of the Sainik schools. We ensured six months of maternity leave for women and also passed a law for reservation for our mothers and daughters in legislatures... I am proud that women in our villages, who could not ride cycles, are now flying drones and ISRO projects are also being handled by women," PM Modi said.
