New Delhi: Asserting that the BJP will come to power in the state for a third term, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the decision has already been made in the minds of the voters.
Addressing a poll rally in Palwal, PM Modi said, "Haryana has a track record that whichever government is in power at the Centre, the same government is formed in Haryana also. You formed the BJP government in Delhi for the third time, and now you people have decided to form the BJP government here in Haryana also for the third time,” PM Modi said.
He said that there is a “wave” for the BJP. “There is the BJP wave in every village – everywhere one hears: ‘Bharosa dil se, BJP phir se’ (Trust BJP to come to power once again, from the heart),’” Modi said.
He said that in his travels in Haryana, Modi has seen support for the BJP. “Even as a common worker, I have been witness to the grassroots politics of Haryana for a long time. In the past few days, I had the opportunity to visit various regions of Haryana and meet various sections of people. Today, this is my final rally for this election, and you have truly made this last rally a grand success,” he said.
He hit out at the Congress and said that the party is trying to divide society on caste lines, saying that the Congress has been asking for a caste census.
“The Congress did not let Ram Mandir be constructed. They did not let the Constitution of India be implemented completely in J&K. They kept the women deprived of reservation,” he said. “The Congress keeps Pakistan happy, will it be able to keep people in Haryana happy – it is for you to decide.”
Polling in Haryana is coming to a close, with elections to the 90-member assembly scheduled for October 5.
