The Congress on Sunday said the real commitment to Andhra Pradesh would be demonstrated if Prime Minister Narendra Modi gives the state special category status as committed to by the then PM Manmohan Singh in the Rajya Sabha in February 2014.
Congress general secretary in-charge, communications, Jairam Ramesh noted that in the last week, Prime Minister Modi has inaugurated an AIIMS in Mangalagiri and an IIT in Tirupati.
"When I gave the guarantee of the making of the New India, the Opposition which is fond of abusing me ridiculed that. Today, everyone is watching the formation of the New India in front of their eyes. Those who ruled the country for a long time did not have the willpower. Their intention to provide facilities to the common people was maligned. All of Congress' power was used to make only one family prosperous. How would have they remembered to do something for the country? All of their power was used in thinking about how to make the government last for 5 years, and how to hide the scams. They could make India only the 11th largest economy in the 10 years before 2014... The budget which used to be for infrastructure, was looted through scams... Congress did 2G scam, Commonwealth scam, Helicopter, and submarine scam... Congress has only betrayed every need of the country..."
"We have seen those days when the people of Saurashtra struggled for a drop of water... When I used to say that waters of rivers that have water for the whole year, would be brought to Saurashtra and Kutch, Congress ridiculed me. But today, Sauni (Saurashtra Narmada Avtaran Irrigation) Yojana has changed the fate of Saurashtra. More than 1300 km of pipeline has been spread, which is wide enough to pass a car through it... Hundreds of villages now have access to water..."
"BJP has set the best example of robbing elections in the country. If they (BJP) can't do that, they will start obstructing the government's work and try to instigate people against us (AAP). If not, then they will try to poach MLAs and councillors. If this doesn't work, they will misuse the powers of ED, CBI, and police. And when none of this works, then they do what they did in Chandigarh and rob the elections'."

Those who had taken a 'sanklap' that they won't form an alliance with Congress are now walking with them. Arvind Kejriwal is the biggest liar among politicians. Most of his party leaders are in jail, and that's why he has allied with another corrupt party
"Congress means corruption and corruption means Congress, Amit Shah in MP's Khajuraho I am here today to talk to the workers of 23,000 booths of this cluster. This conference has been called to take a pledge and win with over 400 seats in the Lok Sabha elections under PM Modi’s leadership," Shah said.
TMC leader Kunal Ghosh says, "Where was this so-called fact-finding team in UP, MP, Gujarat, Assam, and Manipur. These are the BJP cadres who are controlled by BJP. They are coming here only to malign the TMC government... BJP does not trust the people of Bengal nor have any relations with them. They know the people of Bengal don't support them. This is why they are using different central agencies, and it only proves they have no organisation in Bengal."
AAP leader Sandeep Pathak agreed with CM Kejriwal's remarks. He said, "From the day AAP government was formed in Delhi, BJP is looking for opportunities to implicate Arvind Kejriwal. BJP is irritated with the fact that the people of Delhi are choosing AAP as their government... Delhi government wants to bring a one-time settlement program for water bills. BJP has nothing to do with it."
AAP Haryana President Sushil Gupta says, "Law and Order has ended in Haryana... We have received info from Jhajjar. The Haryana INLD president Nafe Singh and his associates have been shot dead. No one is safe in this state safe. Businessmen are shot and then extorted, politicians are shot dead on roads... Will the state uphold the rule of law, or the CM will continue to be busy with election rallies?"

BJP's Meenakshi Lekhi hit back at Kejriwal over the latter' remark on 'should get a Nobel for running the Delhi govt. "The Nobel Prize is not given to a thief and those who have committed scams in the Jal Board should pay people's attention to the Jal Board scam. If you are sitting on a dharna against your own Jal Board officials after removing them, then this is a vicious type of politics and you think that you will be able to deceive everyone again and again. It is not possible you deceive a person once and then you can deceive him a second time, but you cannot cheat continuously every time. The Jal Board was directly related to the Chief Minister, now after continuously committing the scam he handed it over to his other ministers... On one side there is the Prime Minister, on the other side they are not able to give water to the people of Delhi
