Prime minister Narendra Modi on thursday accused the ruling congress in rajasthan of sympathizing with terrorists, recalling at a poll rally here the murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in this city last year. He also said crime and corruption in the state increased in the past five years. "The murder of Kanhaiya Lal ji is a big stain on the state government. Such a heinous incident happened in udaipur because there is a congress government that sympathizes with terrorists," the prime minister said. Kanhaiya Lal was murdered on june 28 last year by two cleaver-wielding men who accused him of insulting Islam. The accused had also made a video of the act and posted it online.
"Terrorist organizations like Popular Front of india (PFI) hold rallies without fear in the state as the congress government is a sympathizer of terrorists," Modi said. He also alleged that ram Navami processions and Kanwar Yatras were banned in the congress rule. Modi said that the congress has only one agenda to loot rajasthan and fill its coffers. "Corruption is like air and water for the congress without which it cannot function," he said.
The prime minister also said the congress brought rajasthan to the top in crime against women. "Even Dalits and poor people are not safe in the state," he said. He said the bjp is committed to eliminating 'gunda raj' from rajasthan, which will go to polls on november 25. "The bjp assures every daughter and daughter-in-law of rajasthan that she will get the opportunity to live with dignity and go out of the house without fear in a safe environment…this is Modi's guarantee," PM Modi said. It is shameful that on the issue of law and order, a congress minister mockingly said that this is a state of men. You have not only insulted the mothers and sisters of rajasthan, but you have also insulted the men of Rajasthan. The men of rajasthan are known for protecting the honour of women, he said.
Modi was referring to the statement of rajasthan minister Shanti Dhariwal. The prime minister said that the congress has wasted five years of Rajasthan. "For five years, the government of rajasthan remained busy deciding who would sit on the (CM's) chair," he said, adding that the party has once again come with the 'Jhunjhuna' of fake announcements.
