Modi’s Rally in Haryana: Accusations, Promises, and a Focus on Results

In his final rally for the Haryana Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the Congress. He accused the party of relying on false promises and expecting voters to reward them with power after a decade of being out of office. Modi emphasized that the Congress was attempting to reclaim power without having done any substantial work.

The Prime Minister also pointed to Congress’s internal divisions, particularly the influence of Bhupinder and Deepender Hooda. According to Modi, the father-son duo is depriving Dalits and backward communities of their rightful opportunities. “Congress has only one formula — to neither work nor allow others to work,” he remarked. He contrasted this with the BJP’s approach, stating that the BJP’s politics is based on hard work and delivering results.

Modi stressed the importance of focusing on outcomes. He argued that while the Congress may hope to regain power, it hasn’t done anything to earn it. Citing the party’s failed expectations in Madhya Pradesh, he added, “They had the same illusion in Madhya Pradesh, where they began celebrating even before the results were declared.”

Congress’s Failed Strategies in Rajasthan

The Prime Minister expanded his criticism beyond Haryana, highlighting Congress’s efforts in Rajasthan. He claimed that Congress tried to provoke farmers and youth against the BJP. However, these efforts failed, and the public saw through the party’s attempts to create divisions.

Disillusionment Among Dalits and Backward Communities

Modi made a pointed accusation about Congress’s treatment of Dalits and other marginalized communities. “Dalits, backward communities, and other deprived sections are the most disillusioned with the Congress,“ he said. He added that these groups had “firmly resolved” not to be used for the political gains of leaders like the Hooda family.

He further accused Congress of having an agenda centered around appeasement and division. Modi claimed that the party aims to erode the constitutional protections given to Dalits. Referring to Karnataka, he alleged, “As soon as Congress came to power there, it withdrew reservation benefits for Dalits.”

Modi’s Promise of Protection

In response to these accusations, Modi reassured Dalits and other marginalized communities. He promised that as long as he and the BJP were in power, no one would be able to strip SCs, STs, and OBCs of their constitutional rights. “As long as Modi is here, and the BJP is here, no one can take away the reservation granted by the Constitution to SCs, STs, and OBCs,” he vowed.

Congress’s Alleged Failure to Deliver

Modi concluded his speech with another criticism of the Congress. He accused the party of failing to keep its promises to farmers and weaker sections of society. While Congress may claim to represent these groups, Modi argued that their actions reveal otherwise.

As the Haryana Assembly elections approach, Modi’s rally showcased the BJP’s strategy of emphasizing results. In contrast, he painted the Congress as a party caught in a cycle of empty promises and divisive politics. Whether voters resonate with this message remains to be seen, but Modi and the BJP are keen to highlight their achievements at every opportunity.
