Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, who is addressing a public rally from the battleground in
Chhattisgarh, highlighted that human and drug trafficking has increased in the
Surguja district under the rule of Congress.
In Bishrampur, the
top BJP leader accused the Congress party of failing to control Naxal violence
in the State and cited the recent murder of a party worker.
“Whenever the
Congress comes to power in the country, terrorists and Naxalites get
emboldened. News of bomb blasts and murders are reported from here and there.
Wherever the Congress is in power, the rule of crime and loot prevails there,”
he said.
“In the recent
period, our (BJP) party workers were snatched from us. A few days ago, our
colleague (party leader) was shot dead… do you want to live under the shadow
of bombs and guns? No matter how much money you have, if your son doesn’t
return home in the evening and his body reaches, then what is the need of that
money,” he said.
Ratan Dubey, the
BJP’s Narayanpur district unit vice president, was stabbed to death with a
sharp-edged weapon at around 5.30 pm in the market at Kaushalnagar village
under the Jharaghati police station area by Naxalites while the slain worker
was campaigning for the party last week.
Besides, PM Modi targeted
the grand old party for fielding a presidential candidate against Droupadi
Murmu.
“You can’t imagine
how much Congress tried to stop (Droupadi Murmu from becoming the first Tribal
President of Bharat), but it was the BJP which ensured this honour to her,” he
said.
Expressing
gratitude to the enthusiastic crowd, PM Modi said, “It’s a heart-touching
moment for me that I am addressing such a big rally and you all have turned out
in large numbers at this time of the morning. I can’t thank you enough for
coming.”
