Karnataka Polls: Congress, JD(S) Are One From Hearts & Deeds, Says PM Modi; Accuses Them Of Encouraging Terror

Congress’ history is about “appeasing terror and terrorists”, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, adding that the party had questioned the country’s defence forces, when the surgical strikes and air strikes had been carried out.

Addressing a poll rally in Karnataka’s Chitradurga, the Prime Minister accused Congress and JD(S) of  “encouraging terror”.

He asked the people of Karnataka to remain ‘alert’ of both Congress and JD(S) as both these parties are actually ‘one’ from their ‘hearts’ and ‘deeds’.

“Both are nepotistic, both are corrupt. Developing Karnataka has never been their priority… both parties can never increase investment in Karnataka and cannot create new opportunities for the youth in the state,” he said.

“People of Karnataka should never forget Congress’ history and thinking. Congress’ history is about appeasing terror and terrorists. When the Batla House encounter happened in Delhi, there were tears in the eyes of Congress’ top most leader, hearing about the death of terrorists,” PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister also accused Congress of raising questions on the capability of the country’s defence forces when surgical strikes happened.

“In Karnataka you have seen how Congress is encouraging terrorism. Congress had left Karnataka to the ‘rehemokaram’ (mercy) of terrorists. It is the BJP that broke the back of the terrorists, and has ended the game of appeasement,” he said, adding that for a prosperous Karnataka and to make it number it is important for the state to be safe.

Congress has lost its warranty and trust of the people, the Prime Minister said, adding that its election guarantee without warranty is nothing but lies.

He also said that BJP’s election manifesto has a roadmap to make Karnataka number one State in the country.
