Congress doing vote bank politics: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/Ajmer/ Accusing the Congress of working for only one family, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked the party alleging that it was doing vote bank politics and kept spreading lies. Addressing a public meeting here, the Prime Minister also hit out at the Congress for questioning the surgical strike that demonstrated the valour of the Indian armed forces.

“The BJP believes in presenting the report card of the works its government has done, whether its Rajasthan or Madhya Pradesh or Chhattisagrh. “The BJP never hides its face while giving the report card to the people. But the Congress keeps on spreading lies,” he said. The Prime Minister said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) does not have a habit of lying as it works on the mantra of ‘Sarva Jan Hitay’ and ‘Sarva Jan Sukhay’.

“But the opposition is fond of doing vote bank politics, and those who do vote bank politics, they enjoy the issue of Hindu-Muslim, older-youth, forward backward, this caste and that caste and man and woman. “Wherever they get the opportunity they try to divide the society,” he said, adding that it was easy to divide but very hard to unite.“And the BJP believes in uniting the society,” he said. “And this vote bank politics is not limited to elections, but it keeps on going for long.”
