Chhattisgarh has become ATM of Congress: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a scathing attack on the Congress, alleging that corruption was its biggest ideology, and said the grand old party cannot breathe without it.   Modi said if the Congress is a guarantee for corruption, he is a guarantee for action against graft.  Addressing a rally at the Science College ground in Chhattisgarh capital Raipur, he said the state has become an ATM of the Congress.

 The scam-ridden Congress government in Chhattisgarh has become a model of misrule and people have decided to root out it in the upcoming Assembly elections, he said. This was Modi’s first visit to the Congress-ruled state, where Assembly elections are due this year-end, after being elected as the prime minister for the second term in 2019.

“…The next 25 years will be crucial for the development of Chhattisgarh, but a big ‘panja’ (referring to Congress party symbol) is standing like a tall wall against it. Congress’s panja had decided to snatch your rights and it will loot and destroy the state,” he said.  The PM further said he would like to remind people of the state about the promises made by the Congress during the 2018 assembly. The Congress government betrayed the women of Chhattisgarh.
