People need to vote for a Congress-free government in Haryana : Modi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked off poll campaign in Haryana's Karnal disrict on Saturday and said that to ensure development of the state, people need to vote for a Congress-free government. Modi said that the Haryana government is spreading lies and saying that the central government has stopped exporting Basmati rice. “However, in reality, Congress in Haryana has imposed 4 per cent tax,” he said. 

The PM further said that Congress government did not do anything for pilgrims travelling to Kailash Mansarovar yatra whereas Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) opened a new road to facilitate their travel. He said that is starting the poll campaign from the land of 'dar veer karn.'

Modi said that to determine a better future for the state, people have to vote for Congress-free Haryana. He added that people need to elect a stable government in Haryana with majority which will allow him to do work in the state.

“If those putting obstacles succeed to form government here, then I will be stuck in Delhi,” he said. He added that the party had initiated 'Prime Minister Krishi Sinchai Yojana' and 'Jan Dhan yojana' for the poor.

Talking about the law and order situation in the state and instances of land grabbing by goons, Modi said that Haryana police does not pay heed to him as they are under the influence of the state government. He added that the entire world is talking about India then it is because people elected the central government with clear majority.

“In the present age of wi-fi, shouldn't our towns be clean? I want to work towards waste management to make them smart cities. Shouldn't Haryana cities be part of this?,” he said. He said that the state ranks ninth for reducing poverty while it is on the eight position for per capita income. “Who is responsible for this”, he asked.
