Lok Sabha Elections 2019: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday took a pod shot at Rahul Gandhi-led Congress party and said that this for the first that people of the country are contesting to bring back the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government at the Centre. “Perhaps, after 1977, after the emergency, this is the first election, where the people of the country are contesting to bring the current government back to power,” PM Modi said while addressing a public rally in Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh. He also alleged that a hospital in Amethi denied treatment to a patient because he was carrying the Ayushman Bharat card with him. “There is a hospital in Amethi whose trustee is a person from 'naamdar family', a few days ago a poor man went there for treatment with his Ayushman card, the hospital denied his treatment because he was carrying the Ayushman Bharat card given by Modi,” Prime Minister said. Earlier in the day, PM Modi attacked Rahul Gandhi over his alleged association with UK-based firm 'Backops', saying its name was akin to the Congress leader's actions of indulging in "back office operations" and not from the front. Referring to the 10-year UPA rule under then prime minister Manmohan Singh, Modi also alleged that India lost an entire decade of the 21st century after the Congress installed ‘family loyalist’ Singh as the PM in 2004 because the ‘prince’ was not ready and all efforts to ‘train’ him went waste at that time. Further criticising the Congress President in an election rally in Madhya Pradesh’s Sagar, PM Modi said all his scams are now being "unearthed from land, air and water" as it has now come out to be known that the Congress leader's business partner in the UK company got a submarine contract despite an experience in liasoning only. The election campaigning in 51 Lok Sabha seats in six northern and eastern states besides the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh in the fifth phase ended on Saturday evening. These seats will go for polls on May 6.
