New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed a rally in Assam's Kaliabor in Nagaon district. He used the opportunity to attack the Congress party and convey the message that voters now preferred to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He quoted several incidents including the just concluded municipal corporation elections in Maharashtra and the Bihar Elections last year, as examples of people preferring to vote for the BJP.
Here are the top quotes of the PM from the Kaliabor rally
-BJP has become the first choice of everyone in the country... In the last 1-1.5 years, the country's faith in the BJP has been continuously on the rise. Recently, elections were held in Bihar and people gave a record mandate to the BJP. Two days ago, municipal corporation election results for major cities in Maharashtra were held. One of the world's biggest municipal corporations, Mumbai, gave a historic mandate to the BJP, making the party win for the first time... In Kerala municipal elections also, people greatly supported the BJP, and Thiruvananthapuram has a BJP mayor for the first time
- Congress was born in Mumbai, but today, Congress stands in the 4th or 5th position in the city... Congress has lost the faith of the country because it has no development agenda
- I congratulate the social media influencers across the country. From yesterday, I have been seeing how this excellent dance of the Bodo tradition has taken over social media.
- Today, I have once again had the good fortune of coming to Kaziranga. Memories of my previous visit come flooding back. The moments I spent in Kaziranga National Park two years ago are among the most special experiences of my life
Apart from addressing the rally in Assam, the PM also laid the foundation stone for the Rs 6,957-crore Kaziranga Elevated Corridor in Assam. This corridor is aimed at ensuring safe wildlife movement across the Kaziranga National Park and Tiger Reserve, reduce road accidents on National Highway-715, and boost ecotourism, while generating local employment opportunities. Before the inauguration, he also performed the 'Bhoomi Poojan' of the elevated corridor.
