Citing The Kerala Story, PM Modi accuses Congress for standing with terror tendencies

Ballari: Beginning his speech with Jai Shri Ram and Jai Bajrang Bali chants, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched an all-out attack on the Congress by accusing it for standing with terror tendencies by opposing docu-film The Kerala Story, which is based on a terror conspiracy.

"The sound of bombs, guns and pistols is heard but there is no sound of terrorist conspiracy to hollow the society from within. Even the court has expressed concern over this form of terror. There is a lot of discussion these days about the film 'Kerala Story' based on such a terrorist conspiracy.

"It is said that the Kerala story is based on terrorist conspiracies in just one state. The terrorist conspiracy going on in Kerala, such a beautiful state of the country, where people are so hardworking and talented, has been revealed in this film.

But, look at the misfortune of the country that today the Congress is seen standing with this terroristic tendency which is destroying the society," he said, addressing a public rally here.

Not only this, the Congress is also doing political bargaining through the backdoor with those with such terrorist tendencies, Modi said, hinting at the nexus between Congress and SDPI, which is a political arm of the banned People's Front of India.

Modi said law and order is the most important requirement to make Karnataka the No.1 state of the country, and it is equally important for Karnataka to remain free from terrorism.

BJP has always been tough against terrorism, but whenever action is taken against terrorism, the stomach of the Congress starts aching, he said.

Modi said todat the whole world is worried about terrorism, but to save its own vote bank, Congress has kneeled down before terrorism. "Can it protect Karnataka?" he asked.

On Congress politising Sudan crisis where many Indians were held up due to the civil war there, PM Modi alleged that the grand old party deliberately exposed the stranded Indians in the African nation to the miscreants there.

"Right now there is a situation of civil war in Sudan, there used to be firing from somewhere and bombs used to explode from somewhere. It was difficult to get out of the house. Thousands of our Indian brothers and sisters were stuck in Sudan and hundreds of our brothers and sisters from Karnataka were also there.

"The situation in Sudan is such that even big countries have refused to evacuate their citizens from there. Despite this, we deployed our entire Air Force, made the Navy stand.

"Congress did not support the country in such difficult times. The Congress deliberately exposed the stranded Indians in Sudan to the miscreants there. Is this the sensitivity of the Congress towards the citizens of the country?" he questioned.

Modi said the Congress ignored the Banjara and Lambani communities for decades.

"Congress has done nothing, but deprivation and humiliation to the Banjara and Valmiki communities. Toilets, houses, water, education, hospitals were not provided. From the last 9 years your prime servant has been working hard to provide you with all the facilities," he said.

"I want to congratulate Yediyurappa ji and Bommai ji for giving Hakku Patras to the Banjara community and for giving revenue village status to Lambani Thandas. Congress ignored these people for decades," Modi said.

Hitting back at the Congress calling the BJP government as 40 per cent commission sarkar without taking any legal aide, PM Modi said the grand old party is 85 per cent commission as admitted by late prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.

"When Congress ruled Karnataka, their focus was on corruption and not the development of the state. Rajiv Gandhi had said that when the Central government sends Re 1, only 15 paisa reaches the people. This means that he himself had accepted Congress as the 85 per cent commission party," he said.

Modi said Congress has been using corruption to loot the people of this country ever since the eve of independence, and now they are using another tactic by using disinformation to fool the people and win the election.

Targeting Congress over its poll manifesto, he said Congress has been creating false narrative with win to win elections in Karnataka which they have been doing over the years.

"Congress creates a false narrative with money to win elections. In the past many elections, it has created such false narratives and conducted false surveys to praise itself. Congress was doing the same here in Karnataka," he said.

But Karnataka's huge support for the BJP now has absolutely shaken the Congress and hence they are now finding ways to create another false narrative to win the election in Karnataka, Modi said.

"BJP's manifesto is a promise letter, a resolution letter for it. In which there is a road map to make Karnataka the No.1 state of the country. On the other hand, there are a lot of false promises in the Congress manifesto. The Congress manifesto is meant to be a bundle of lockout and appeasement," he said. (UNI)
