At a recent rally in Sonipat, Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a powerful message about alleged corruption within the Congress party. Specifically, he called out Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah for his involvement in the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) scam. With state assembly elections approaching, Modi underscored the failures of Congress and their impact on governance.
Modi stated, “In just two years, look at the Congress government in Karnataka. The Chief Minister faces allegations of a land scam. When he appeared in the High Court, the court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation.” In doing so, he demanded accountability from the Congress leadership.
Furthermore, Modi took a historical view, asserting, “Ten years ago, when Congress held power here, they exploited farmers’ lands. They handed Haryana over to middlemen, making it nearly impossible to find jobs without deceit and allowing corruption to flourish.” By highlighting this history, he aimed to resonate with everyday citizens affected by these issues.
In addition, the Prime Minister criticized Congress’s track record regarding marginalized communities. He remarked, “The Congress has consistently sidelined SC/ST and OBC groups. Baba Saheb Ambedkar established reservations for Dalits; without it, they would still wait for Congress to lose power.” This strong statement struck a chord with voters concerned about social equity.
Moreover, Modi declared, “There is no party more corrupt than Congress. Wherever they establish a foothold, corruption and nepotism thrive.” By emphasizing this point, he positioned the BJP as a champion of clean governance, contrasting it sharply with Congress‘s alleged shortcomings.
Shifting focus once again, Modi highlighted the BJP‘s commitment to agricultural reform. He stated, “The BJP government in Haryana has decided to provide MSP for 24 crops. In contrast, Congress showed disdain for purchasing crops at MSP during its tenure. This is the reality that farmers need to understand.” This commitment underscores the BJP‘s dedication to farmer welfare.
Additionally, he discussed significant strides in economic and infrastructure development. “Today, major global companies eagerly seek to invest in India and set up factories here. Just imagine the benefits for Haryana’s youth and farmers. The people of Haryana recognize the value of a double-engine government, which is why they support the same party at both the center and the state.” This vision for economic growth resonated with the audience.
Moreover, Modi praised Haryana’s contributions to national achievements, declaring, “Haryana is the medal factory of India. Our youth excel in the Olympics and world games. We will establish small nurseries for Olympic sports in each district to ensure that Haryana’s talent shines on international platforms.” This initiative aims to further enhance the state’s sporting legacy.
In conclusion, through his address, PM Modi aimed to galvanize support ahead of the elections. He painted a vision of progress while sharply contrasting it with the alleged failures of the Congress party. Ultimately, the rally underscored the BJP‘s narrative of integrity, development, and empowerment for all citizens.
Kolkata: On Friday, January 10, 2026, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha members demonstrated against West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her actions after the ED raids at the I-PAC office and its chief Pratik Jain's home. | In relation to an alleged coal smuggling case that stretches back a few years, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) searched the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC) office and Pratik Jain's home on Loudon Street in Kolkata on Thursday, January 8, 2025. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched a protest against the ED raids on I-PAC after the raid set off a political storm in the state. Why is a chief minister endorsing Pratik Jain, and who is he? Pratik Jain, a political strategist and co-founder of I-PAC, is a graduate of IIT Bombay. He is credited with helping I-PAC grow into one of the most significant political consulting organizations in India. I-PAC was established in 2015 and offers services like data-driven campaign management, support for governance, and voter outreach initiatives. It has collaborated with a number of Indian political groups throughout the years, notably West Bengal's Trinamool Congress (TMC). I-PAC reportedly collaborates closely with Abhishek Banerjee, the national general secretary of the Trinamool Congress, and his office. The company oversees the IT and media division of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC and is in charge of creating its election campaigns. Mr. Jain was in charge of the Trinamool Congress's IT cell, according to Ms. Banerjee. According to his LinkedIn page, Jain, an engineering graduate from IIT Bombay, started his career as an analyst at the consulting firm Deloitte. He was one of the first members of Citizens of Accountable Governance, which later evolved into I-PAC. Arvind Kejriwal, M.K. Stalin, Jaganmohan Reddy, Uddhav Thackeray, Rahul Gandhi, and Nitish Kumar are just a few of the prominent figures with whom the political consultancy firm has collaborated.…
