Addressing a rally in Rajasthan‘s Ajmer, the prime minister said that the last nine years of the BJP government were dedicated to the service of people, good governance, and the welfare of poor.
“This ‘guarantee habit’ of Congress is not new, it is old. 50 years back, Congress gave the ‘garibi hatao’ guarantee to the country. This is Congress party’s biggest treachery with the poor. Congress’ strategy has been to trick the poor. People of Rajasthan have suffered due to this,” PM Modi said.
“What was the situation prior to 2014? People were on the streets against corruption, there used to be terrorist attacks in big cities, the Congress government was scared of building roads at borders, crime against women was high, there was a superpower above the PM, Congress government was functioning through remote control. There was darkness before the youth, and today, India is being praised across the world,” he added.
The Prime Minister also slammed the opposition for boycotting the inauguration of new Parliament building, saying the Congress “insulted” the sentiments of the country and the hard work 60,000 labourers.

“India got a new Parliament building three days back. I ask you whether you are proud of it or not. Did you feel the joy on the increase in India’s prestige? The Congress and some parties like it hurled the mud of politics on this too,” he said.
