Rajasthan Elections 2023: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday invoked the 'Laal diary' and 'jadugar' remark to hit out at the Congress and said the party has handed over the state to robbers and rioters. He said the ministers of Congress are all unruly, claiming that people are annoyed with the grand-old party.
"In Congress - be it a minister or MLA - everyone is unrestrained. People are annoyed. Congress has handed over the public of Rajasthan to looters, rioters and criminals..." the Prime Minister said.
"Rajasthan's "Laal Diary" is being widely discussed. As the pages of this "Laal Diary" are turning, the face of 'jaadugar' is falling. This "Laal Diary" clearly states that how Congress government sold your water, forests and land in the last five years..." the PM added.
He further said BJP has always had very special relations with the people, adding "...It has been 75 years since India's independence. Now, we have the aim of a 'developed India' before us. The aim of making India developed is incomplete without making Rajasthan developed. But as long as the three enemies of the country - corruption, dynasty and appeasement - are amid us, it is difficult for this resolution to fulfill until then. Congress is the biggest symbol of these three evils."
The Prime Minister asserted the BJP's priority is to ensure women's welfare and safety. He also said that Rajasthan, under Congress, has the highest inflation and unemployment rate.
Sharpening his attack, the Prime Minister said anti-social forces' morale gets high with Congress's support. Referring to the killing of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Rajasthan, he said that people are being beheaded publically and this is being celebrated.
"The entire country saw what happened with Dalit youths in Jhalawar. Ram Navami, Holi, Hanuman Jayanti fell victim to riots in Rajasthan which was known for festivals..." he added.
