Silvassa: PM Narendra Modi today strongly hit out at Congress, ruling TMC in Bengal and other opposition parties and their attempts to form a grand alliance and the rally in Kolkata today.

Addressing a rally here Modi said that the steps taken by his government for poor and middle class showed that it was working with the motto of development of all with participation of all, but the party (Congress) which led the government for decades used to see the possibilities of benefits of its family alone.

‘That is why they used to focus more on their names rather than the work . My government has changed this and has focused on work and not any name. Most of the welfare schemes like Ayushman Bharat, PM Ujjavala Yojana, PM Jandhan Yojana, PM Mudra Yojana, PM Krishi Sinchai Yojana have nowhere the name of Modi tagged with them. It shows that our intention was the development of people and not of any one family. For us all the 125 crore people of India were our family members,’ he said.

‘This clear intention and policy is not being liked by them (Congress). They were feeling pained as to why Modi was changing their old ways, acting tough against corruption, eradicating the middlemen cult in the power corridors who used to snatch the rightful shares of poor. I am asking you whether the country should be freed from corruption and such things or not? They are angry at me and due to this anger they are now somehow trying to form a grand-alliance. The situation was such that those who earlier use to criticize Congress all the time have now come at one stage,’ Modi said.

He said,’ the grand-alliance was not only against Modi but was also against the people of the country. The irony is that even as they have not come together properly, they have already indulged in bargaining and ‘give and take’ kind of things. The youths, farmers, women and the first time voters; all are seeing it minutely and they can’t be fooled.’
‘While my day starts with the resolution of welfare of 125 crore people of India and when I go to bed to sleep at night after a day long perspiring hard work I feel satisfied but their (Congress and other opposition) world is confined to the welfare of their families alone. They don’t have any vision for the future of India while I am trying to make it the best country of 21st century. Howsoever hard they try and do as many alliances as they wish to get back their sultanate, their bad deeds won’t let them succeed. By their selfish and anti-Modi politics they can hit the headlines in media but these destroyers of India won’t ever be able to get a place in the hearts of people. On rejection from the people they have become desperate,’ Modi said.

Talking about the joint rally of opposition in Kolkata today, PM Modi said, ‘ There is only one MLA of BJP in Bengal but due to the fear of the party opposition people from across the country have assembled. The sole BJP MLA has disturbed their sleep. We are the followers of truth and all the wrong-doers have assembled and giving a call to save them from us. I congratulate my MLA and the people of Bengal for this.’

Hitting out at left governments in Bengal and Kerala Modi said that they were showing dictatorship everywhere.

‘In Bengal they ban the political activity of a party and resort to all sorts of undemocratic things and now the same people have assembled to talk about rescue of democracy. When I see the map of Bangal I remember the throttling of democracy and how even those who filed nomination papers in Panchayat election were murdered. Now when such people assemble there in the name of rescue of democracy, people only exclaim – what a scene!,’ Modi said.

He said that the fight is between development and corruption, people and grand-alliance, positivity and negativity. The new India could be made only with the positivity and BJP was moving ahead with this thinking.

‘They have assemble in Kolkata to save them while I am moving ahead with the motto of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ to save the country,’ he said.

PM Modi also laid foundation of or dedicated developmental works of more than Rs 1400 crore including that of the first ever medical college in this union territory to be set up at a cost of Rs 200 crores and will be having 150 seats initially. He also elaborated on the developmental works done by his government in Daman and Diu and Dadra and Nagar Haveli, the two adjoining union territories of his home state Gujarat.
