Rewa (Madhya Pradesh) [India], November 3 (ANI): Launching a scathing assault on the Congress, BJP nationwide president JP Nadda on Friday mentioned India was globally tagged as a “corrupt country” when the previous held the reins of energy.
Addressing a public assembly at Rewa in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, Nadda mentioned, “Did the coal scam not happen when the Congress was in power at the Centre? Didn’t the Commonwealth Games scam and the 2G scam put a dent in the country’s image when they were in power? We were seen in the world as a brashtachari (corrupt) country. It was our government that worked to give more strength to the oppressed and backward classes, women and farmers.”Hitting out at former Madhya Pradesh CM and present Congress state chief, Kamal Nath, Nadda claimed the latter prevented cash despatched by the Centre from reaching the folks.
“Kamal Nath’s 15-month-old government stopped all the money sent by the central government from reaching the people. The difference between us and them is that where the lotus blooms, development follows and where Congress comes, scams happen. Be it (Chhattisgarh CM) Bhupesh Baghel, (Rajasthan CM) Ashok Gehlot or Kamal Nath, all three of them are collectors or usurpers of public money. It’s time for the people (in all three poll-bound states) to confine such scam-tainted leaders at their homes,” Nadda mentioned.
He mentioned whereas the world was reeling below the Covid pandemic, India’s economic system remained resilient, bucking the worldwide pattern.
“The global economy slipped and faltered in the face of the Covid pandemic, but ours remained strong and resilient. Today, India has leapfrogged Britain, our former coloniser, to become the fifth-biggest economy in the world. If Modi-ji is voted back in 2024, we will deliver on our promise of making India the third-biggest global economy by 2028,” Nadda mentioned.
“Under the Ujjwala scheme, almost 9 crore people across the country have been given cooking gas connections till date, and, as many as 82 lakh of these beneficiaries are from MP. Also, 2,85,000 LPG connections have been provided to households in Rewa till date. Ten crore water taps are to be installed (in households across MP) under the Jal Jeevan Mission. Of these, 1 crore would be installed here in Rewa,” the BJP nationwide chief added.
The polling for the 230-member Madhya Pradesh Assembly will happen on November 17 and the counting of votes, together with these of 4 different poll-bound states, will happen on December 3. (ANI)
