Kurukshetra, Haryana: In a rally held in Kurukshetra, Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi prioritized issues concerning farmers, soldiers, and reservation. During his 47-minute speech, he highlighted the achievements of the central government and warned the people of Haryana that if they chose the Congress party, the state could face a situation similar to that of Himachal Pradesh, which has been struggling with an economic crisis since the Congress came to power.
Government Initiatives for Farmers
Modi began his speech by addressing the concerns of farmers. He stated that his government has provided ₹3.5 lakh crore to farmers under the ‘Samman Nidhi’ scheme, alleviating their debt burden. He emphasized that the BJP government has consistently worked in the interests of farmers and criticized the opposition, particularly the Congress, for neglecting farmers during their rule.
Respect for Soldiers and Article 370
The Prime Minister also touched upon the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, praising the soldiers from Haryana who are always ready to defend the nation. He mentioned that previously, soldiers from Haryana were returning home wrapped in the tricolor every week, but the situation has since improved. This indicated that the conditions in Jammu and Kashmir have stabilized post the removal of Article 370, resulting in fewer sacrifices from the soldiers.
Sharp Attack on Congress
Modi directly attacked the Congress party, accusing it of being limited to one family and stating that the Dalit community is observing its actions. On the issue of reservation, he criticized the Congress for being anti-reservation since the Nehru era, claiming they are planning to end it. Modi assured that under his government, reservation will not be harmed in any way.
Announcements and Warnings for Haryana
During the rally, the Prime Minister praised Haryana’s Chief Minister Nayab Saini and promised 25,000 jobs for the state. He urged the people of Haryana not to bring the Congress to power and plunge the state into an economic crisis like Himachal Pradesh. Modi highlighted the benefits of a “double-engine” government, where the joint efforts of the BJP-led state and central governments accelerate development.
Noteworthy Moments During the Rally
A notable moment during the rally was when Chief Minister Nayab Saini tried to place a turban on Prime Minister Modi’s head, but it did not fit properly. Saini then helped adjust it, displaying a scene of camaraderie between the two leaders. Additionally, when Saini was about to walk behind Modi on the stage, the Prime Minister held his hand and guided him to walk in front, showing a gesture of respect.
The primary message of the Prime Minister’s rally was clear: the BJP’s leadership ensures the development of both the country and the state. He warned that a return of the Congress to power could lead to economic turmoil in Haryana, similar to what has been witnessed in Himachal Pradesh, thereby hampering the state’s progress.
