PM Modi slams Congress for promoting 'appeasement' politics

Kurukshetra, Sep 14 (UNI) Kicking off the BJP's campaign for the Assembly polls in Haryana, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday slammed the Congress party for promoting "appeasement' politics.
He said the politics of Congress is limited to spreading lies and creating a state of anarchy.
"If there is anyone in India who is the biggest opponent of Dalits, OBCs and Adivasis, then it is the Congress family" Modi said while addressing an election rally in Kurukshetra.
The PM said, "Now these people have said that if they come to power, they will end the reservation for Dalits and backward classes. This is the truth of this family" he added.
Attacking Leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for his comments in US, he said, "Congress is constantly attacking the unity of the country"
"In the name of defaming BJP they are not hesitated to defame the India. Therefore, now we have to be cautious of Congress and its allies" the PM said.
Today Congress has become a "new form of Urban Naxal", Modi said "Appeasement is the biggest goal for the grand old party.
"The whole country is celebrating Ganesh Utsav, but the Congress is creating obstacles in the worship of Vighnaharta", he alleged.
Over the issue of farmers, the Prime Minister said Congress talks big for farmers... shows them big dreams. The truth is that this is nothing but a lie.
"If Congress has guts, then why don't they implement the party's farmer schemes in Karnataka and Telangana" he added.
Accusing Congress for supporting the restoration of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, Modi said, "Congress wants to bring back the era when stones were pelted on our brave soldiers of Haryana till a few years ago".
"Congress wants to bring back that era of terror and separatism" he said..
Expressing confidence that the BJP will form the government in the state, the PM said, "The enthusiasm seen here, tells me, according to my political experience that the BJP is set to make a hat-trick in Haryana.
"I have come to request you to form the BJP government once again. You have given me the opportunity to serve in Delhi for the third consecutive time" he said.
Polling for the 90 assembly seats in Haryana will be held on October 5 and counting of votes will be held on October 8 along with Jammu and Kashmir.
The ruling BJP is eyeing a hat-trick in the assembly polls but faces a stiff challenge from a resurgent Congress, which is looking to cash in on the anti-incumbency in the state.
