PM Modi Takes a Dig at Congress in Jalandhar Rally

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Jalandhar, on Friday. Taking a dig at Congress, he said:

One can’t understand the Congress Party’s strategy. In West Bengal, they suddenly formed an alliance with CPM, a party which they couldn’t meet eye to eye with for fifty years. But the hunger for power was such that, they formed an alliance. In UP, they spoke against the SP and when they realised that the people are still not accepting them, they formed an alliance with SP. No principles, no rules, they are ready to do whatever to save themselves. Do people of Punjab want to trust this sinking ship?

“People are trying to malign the image of Punjab’s youth”, he said adding that they should be punished severely.

If you want to do politics then do it for people’s well being and not pleasure. Look at Parkash Singh Badal. He’s been a leader for so long, but neither did he change his party nor heart.

PM Modi said that while the Congress let the OROP issue remain stagnant the BJP government resolved it.
