If Cong comes to power even by mistake, it will ruin Haryana with its infighting: Modi
Sonipat, Sep 25: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday launched a blistering attack on the Congress saying if it comes to power in Haryana even by mistake, stability and development will be at stake because of its "infighting" and this will ruin the state.
Addressing a poll rally in Gohana in this district for the October 5 assembly polls, he also lashed out at the Congress over the issue of reservation, alleging opposing reservation and and hatred towards it are in its DNA.
Slamming the main opposition party, he said Congress governments are known for "instability."
"In the past few years wherever it formed governments, chief ministers and ministers were involved in infighting. They have nothing to do with the pain and problems of the people," Modi said as he cited the example of Congress-ruled Karnataka.
"In Karnataka, its chief minister and deputy chief minister are busy in internal fighting. In Telangana and Himachal Pradesh, it is the same story," he said in his second rally in the state, the first being over a week ago in Kurukshetra.
Modi also mentioned about alleged infighting in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh when the Congress was in power there.
"Therefore, Haryana has to be cautious. Haryana has right over me. Remember, if Congress comes to power even by mistake, it will ruin Haryana due to its infighting," he warned.
"The way infighting is rising in Congress, entire Haryana is watching," he said.
Voting for Congress means putting Haryana's stability and development at stake and opening the doors of destruction, he further said.
"This instability will stop every work in Haryana. Investment and jobs will be impacted", said Modi.
Notably, with Haryana going to polls next month, the ruling BJP has been targeting the Congress over the alleged infighting in its Haryana unit and even claimed that Lok Sabha member and prominent Dalit leader Kumari Selja is unhappy with her party over ticket distribution and so is staying away from the poll campaign.
Former chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar had also invited Selja to join the BJP but she dismissed any possible switch, saying, "I am a Congress person, I will remain a Congress person."
In his speech, Modi said whenever the Congress remained out of power, the poor, SC, ST and OBC got their due rights.
Whenever the Congress remained in power, it snatched rights of Dalits and downtrodden, he alleged.
Whoever became prime minister from Congress's 'royal family', they always opposed reservation, he said.
"Opposing and hatred towards reservation is in Congress party's DNA. That is why today we are seeing that fourth generation of the royal family of the Congress wants to remove reservation. You have to be cautious of Congress party's anti-reservation tactics," he said.
The BJP gave participation, in true sense to Dalit, OBC and tribals while it worked to take forward deprived and backward sections, Modi said.
"In Haryana, you see BJP made Nayab Saini (who comes from OBC community) chief minister. In short time, Saini has created a place in hearts of people of Haryana," he said.
Referring to his US visit, Modi said he met big leaders and representatives of big companies. "I told them about the talent of Indian youths."
He said under the BJP government, Haryana has made place among top states in industry and agriculture sectors.
"Today, the world's biggest companies are interested in setting up factories in India, he said, adding "when industrialisation increases, its biggest benefit goes to poor, farmers and Dalits".
Modi asserted that as the voting day draws near in Haryana, support for the BJP is growing while Congress is on the slide. He exuded confidence about BJP's return to power in Haryana.
Today, entire Haryana is saying 'Phir ek baar, BJP sarkar', he said.
He also said, "I am saying with pride that whatever I am today, Haryana has a great contribution in it."
Modi said B R Ambedkar believed that in empowerment of Dalits, industry plays a big role.
He used to see Dalit, poor, deprived don't have adequate land. He knew that many poor are landless and spend their life as farm labourers, Modi said.
That is why Baba Saheb (Ambedkar) used to say that when factories are set up, Dalits and deprived get a chance.
That is why Baba Saheb used to tell Dalits to learn technical skills. In BJP's policies, decisions and thoughts, you will see reflection of this thinking of Baba Saheb, Modi said.
By giving opportunities to Dalit and deprived sections in industry, real empowerment is possible, Modi pointed out.
There is one more challenge before our country, about which only BJP talks, he said.
In our country, farm holding is shrinking. Population is increasing, but farms are shrinking. Agriculture economists believe that in villages along with farming, there should be other avenues of earning, the prime minister said.
This is why every parent wants that while one child will work on farm, other will go to city to earn, he said.
When industry expands, lives of farmers also improve and youth of farmer families also get good jobs and opportunities, he said.
Modi also paid tributes to Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya on his birth anniversary, saying drawing inspiration from him, the BJP is taking the country to new heights of development and uplifting the poor.
On the second phase of polling in Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, he congratulated the people for taking part in the festival of democracy with great enthusiasm.
"Since morning, people are in queues to exercise their vote.The way in first phase, voting record broke in J&K, that too the world has seen," he said.

Jharkhand horror: Man kills live-in partner, chops body into 40 pieces
Ranchi (PTI): A 25-year-old man, who works as a butcher, allegedly strangled to death his live-in partner and chopped her body into 40 to 50 pieces in a forested area in Jharkhand’s Khunti district, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, identified as Naresh Bhengra, was arrested.
The matter came to light after around a fortnight after the killing when a stray dog was found with human body parts near Jordag village in Jariagarh police station on November 24.
Bhengra was in a live-in relationship with the deceased, a 24-year-old woman also from Khunti district, in Tamil Nadu for the past couple of years. Sometime back, he returned to Jharkhand, got married to another woman without telling his partner anything and went back to the southern state without his wife to join her.
"The brutal incident occurred on November 8 when they reached Khunti as the accused who had married another woman did not wish to take her home. Instead, he took her to a forest near his house at Jordag village in Jariagarh police station and chopped the body into pieces. The man has been arrested," Khunti Superintendent of Police Aman Kumar told PTI.
Inspector Ashok Singh who investigated the case said the man worked in a butcher shop in Tamil Nadu and was expert in slicing chicken.
“He admitted chopping the body parts of the woman into 40 to 50 pieces before leaving those in the forest for wild animals to feast on. The police recovered several parts on November 24 after a dog in the area was seen with a hand," Singh told PTI.
Singh said that the woman, who was unaware of his marriage, pressured him to return to Khunti. After reaching Ranchi, they boarded a train on November 24 and headed to the man's village.
"Under a plan, the man took her to Khunti in an autorickshaw near his home and asked her to wait. He returned with sharp weapons and strangulated her with her dupatta after raping her. He then cut the body into 40 to 50 pieces and left for his home to live with his wife," Singh said.
The woman, however, had informed her mother that she had boarded a train and would be living with her partner, the police officer said.
Following the recovery of body parts, a bag was also found in the forest with the murdered woman's belongings including her Aadhaar card. The mother of the woman was called at the spot and she identified her daughter's belongings.
"The mother suspected the man behind the crime who after being nabbed by the police admitted to chopping the woman into pieces," the official added.
The incident has sent shockwaves among people in the region, with the Shraddha Walker murder case of 2022 still fresh in their memory.
Walker was killed by her live-in partner who chopped her body into pieces before dumping them in the jungle in South Delhi’s Mehrauli.
