NEW DELHI: Eyeing to woo non-Jat and Other Backward Class (OBC) votes in poll-bound Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 14 lavishly praised Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, saying he has become immensely popular despite his short stint as he dedicates all his time to the state.
“In such a short time, Nayab Singh Saini became popular in Haryana. Coming from a backward class, Nayab Singh Saini became CM. Whenever I hear praises about Nayab Singh Saini, it fills my heart with pride,” PM Modi said at a public meeting in Kurukshetra, the party’s first major public meeting ahead of the October 5 Assembly elections.
Giving his development guarantees, by calling them Modi Guarantees, he said in the last few years, Haryana has reached among the top states of the country in terms of investment and income.
PM Modi said, “I am proud of this. We have seen the period of the Congress government when the development money was limited to only one district. Every child of Haryana knows in whose pockets that money went. The BJP has connected the whole of Haryana with the development.”
Praising the brief stint of the incumbent, PM Modi said Saini dedicated all 24 hours to the state.”The BJP Government approved 3 crore permanent houses and we’ve given water connections.”
PM Modi, who arrived in Haryana after addressing a poll rally in J&K’s Doda, renewed his attack on the Congress.
Claiming there is no other party more dishonest and deceitful than the Congress, which had cheated the people on reservation, the PM Modi said, “The Congress family has always harboured animosity towards Dr BR Ambedkar and vehemently opposed reservations. This family has consistently disrespected Dalits, OBCs, and tribals. When (Pandit Jawaharlal) Nehru was Prime Minister, he opposed reservations, stating that if those with reservations were to get jobs, the quality of Government services would deteriorate.”
