Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said
Congress leaders suffer from memory loss like the protagonist of Hindi cinema Ghajini
as they promptly forget their poll promises after winning.
The Bharatiya Janata Party leader was speaking at a
campaign rally for party candidate Archana Chitnis in Burhanpur Assembly
constituency of Madhya Pradesh ahead of the elections on November 17.
“Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi come and make
announcements. Kamal Nath also gives assurances on a daily basis. Ask them
which of the assurances given in (Congress-ruled) Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan
were fulfilled. They suffer from amnesia. Have you seen the movie Ghajini?
Congress is suffering from the disease of Ghajini,” he said.
The character played by Aamir Khan in the 2008 Hindi
film suffers from amnesia.
Congress leaders make announcements and forget them
after winning, Fadnavis added.
“After winning elections, they think about their
families. They do not think about the people and the poor. On the other hand,
under the rule of (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi and (MP Chief Minister)
Shivraj Singh Chouhan, attention was paid to the common people and poor,” he
said.
The slogan promising ‘roti, kapda aur makan’ was being
given since the first government was formed in the country after Independence,
but it was fulfilled when the Modi Government came to power at the Centre, said
the BJP leader.
Five crore poor families got pucca houses in the last
nine years and the poor also got electricity, LPG cylinders at subsidised rate
and other facilities, stated Fadnavis.
Five crore people are getting free ration in Madhya
Pradesh, he said while mentioning other schemes like tap water to every home
and Ayushman scheme for free medical treatment.
