Punish Congress, NC and PDP; vote for BJP: Modi tells Kashmiris

December 13, 2014 13:35

Projecting BJP as a fresh option in Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said Congress "sneaks" into every government that is formed in the state but attacks these dispensations just before elections.

Blaming Congress, NC and PDP for the problems in the state, he asked people to punish all "three offenders" in the assembly polls.

Addressing a poll rally in Kathua, Modi had a dig at Congress saying the party "jumps" into every government that is formed in the state, be it led by PDP or NC, but withdraws from it just before the elections and starts attacking these dispensations.

"If you punish them once, they will realise their mistakes. Has BJP ever formed the government in Jammu and Kashmir? Did we ever commit any mistake? Don't you know who are the first, second and third offenders," he asked the people who cheered back in response.

Maintaining that the people of the state knew who the "three offenders" were, Modi said they would not mend their ways unless they were punished by the voters.

"Congress sneaks into the government whenever one is formed and gets away with all the benefits. Then they say that they are against this government and that the government has done all wrong. Whether PDP comes or NC to power, they join hands with them and come out of the government whenever elections near."
