New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched an all-out attack on the Congress, JMM and RJD, accusing them of talking big but failing to deliver on their promises.
Addressing a 'mera booth sabse mazboot' programme for BJP's booth-level workers in Jharkhand, he also slammed Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge for his remarks that his party has given "false guarantees" to the people.
He said in these polls, the people of Jharkhand are determined to bring a change. The biggest reason for this, the Prime Minister said, is that JMM, Congress and RJD have attacked Jharkhand's "roti, beti and maati" (bread, daughters and land).
They talked big in the last five years, but today the people of Jharkhand are seeing that most of their promises are false, Modi said.
The state goes to assembly polls on November 13 and 20.
He said despite the lack of cooperation from the state government, the Centre is trying its best to develop the state with its mantra of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas'.
"Dynastic parties are not only corrupt but also the biggest hurdle for talented youth of the society."
Modi asserted that the JMM too has learned "these tricks" from the "royal family" of the Congress. It now only cares for power and money, the Prime Minister said.
Earlier, the rich had gas cylinders in their homes and the poor could not even think of having a gas cylinder, he said, adding the reason being that Congress had the nature of catering to the rich.
The BJP delivered gas cylinders to the homes of people through the government's 'Ujjwala' scheme, Modi said.
Assembly Elections 2024 | The Maharashtra Assembly polls will take place against the backdrop of a fractured political landscape in the western state where the Shiv Sena and NCP will be going up against the Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar factions, even as the BJP and Congress try to make their mark. Meanwhile, in Jharkhand, the JMM faces a new challenge after Hemant Soren's recent arrest and Champai, a longstanding party member, joining the BJP. The Haryana election resulted in a shock loss for Congress, which was looking to galvanize on the Lok Sabha poll performance, while J&K also saw the grand old party eventually stepping away from the cabinet, with Omar Abdullah's JKNC forming government. It remains to be seen if the upcoming polls help BJP cement its position further or provide a fillip to I.N.D.I.A.
