Congress being punished for its ‘sins’: PM Modi in Jalore

Jalore/Banswara: PM Narendra Modi on Sunday said the country is punishing the Congress for its “sins” and the party that had once won 400 seats is unable to contest 300 seats in this poll.

“Those who cannot contest elections, cannot win elections have fled the field. This time, they have come to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan. The condition of Congress is so bad,” Modi said at an election rally in Jalore district. Former Congress chief Sonia Gandhi is among the MPs elected to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan in Feb.

Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma also addressed the public meeting and expressed his gratitude to Modi for the public welfare schemes and development works.

Meanwhile, in Banswara PM Modi suggested that if the Congress comes to power, it would redistribute wealth of people to Muslims and cited former PM Manmohan Singh’s remark that the minority community had the first claim on the country’s resources.

Modi was addressing the public meeting in Bhinmal in support of BJP candidate Lumbaram Chaudhary.
