Sonipat: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on the Congress, saying that the grand old party during its helm had handed over the state to ‘dalals’ (middlemen) and ‘damads’ (sons-in-law). Stepping up the attack, PM Modi, who returned from his three-day hectic tour of the US on Tuesday night, in a power-packed election speech in Gohana town in Haryana’s Sonipat district, said there was no party more “dishonest” than the Congress.

“Congress ne Haryana ko dalalon aur damadon ke hawale kar diya (the state was handed over to brokers and son-in-law,” he said. Appealing to vote for the BJP for its record third straight win in the October 5 Assembly polls as the state is now a hub of multinational firms, PM Modi in a frontal attack on the Gandhi family raked up Robert Vadra’s controversial land deals in the state during the Congress government from 2004 to 2014 said, “Haryana ko damad and dalal se bachana hai”.

He said: “As the Assembly elections in Haryana are approaching, the Congress is getting weaker. The support for BJP in Haryana is increasing…The entire Haryana is saying ‘phir ek baar BJP sarkar’.”

Also he warned, “Remember, if the Congress comes to power by mistake, they will ruin Haryana with their infighting. There is a fight going on in Congress here. In Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh, their Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister are fighting.” “Voting for the Congress means putting Haryana’s stability, and development at stake,” PM Modi claimed.

“The world’s trust in India has increased in the past 10 years. When I went to New York, many people from Haryana who grew up in America performed the Haryanavi traditional dance to welcome me…India is progressing after getting free from corruption…Big companies from across the world are eager to invest in India. “When these companies will invest in India, it will benefit the farmers and youth of Haryana. The BJP has announced that many industrial cities will be established in Haryana to provide job opportunities to the youth,” the Prime Minister said.
