People have elected BJP to power for third consecutive term, placed "no entry" board before Congress: Modi

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday sharply criticized the Congress party after the BJP secured a hat-trick victory in Haryana. He was speaking at the BJP headquarters after receiving a grand reception from the workers. The Prime Minister said that the people of Haryana voted for development and good governance and that the BJP will not falter in fulfilling their expectations. He also congratulated the National Conference on their victory in Jammu and Kashmir. He, however, added that the BJP secured the highest voting percentage in Kashmir.

Modi thanked the people of Haryana for electing the BJP to power for the third time. Taking a dig at the Congress, he said that people have put up a "no entry" board before the Congress.

“Congress rarely comes back to power. It was 13 years ago that the Congress came back to power in Assam and there are some states where the Congress has not returned to power for 60 years. Once the people throw out Congress, they do not let it come back. They put ‘no entry’ boards for Congress… it is a party that always thought power was its birthright,” Modi said.
