Robert Vadra a 'baazigar' who grabbed Haryana farmers' land, says Narendra Modi
BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi also took pot shots at Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul during his address at an impressive poll rally in Gurgaon.
BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi attacked the Congress' Achilles heel on Thursday, saying Robert Vadra was a 'baazigar' who made crores of rupees by forcibly grabbing farmers' land in Haryana.
Modi also took pot shots at Congress president Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul during his address at an impressive poll rally in Gurgaon. Questioning the controversial land deals of Vadra, Modi attacked Rahul for shielding his brother-in-law all the while. "From the one (Rahul) who gives lectures on corruption all around the country, the country wants to know what is happening in your own family," Modi said.
New heights
"Is there any youth in Gurgaon who can say that he does not have any money now but in three months he can accumulate Rs 50 crore? Is there any baazigar like that? Shehzada, the country wants to know 'who is this baazigar who has acquired farmers' land forcibly and earned Rs 50 crore in three months?' 'What is your relationship with this baazigar?'" Modi told the rally.
"He (Rahul) has the map of infrastructure ready in his mind. If they took 60 years just to create a map, then they will take 600 years to bring it on ground," the BJP prime ministerial said, adding that the Congress government has failed to provide employment to the youths in last 10 years.
"They (the Congress) had promised in the 2009 election manifesto that 10 crore jobs would be created for youths, but their promise failed badly. People got 6.5 crore jobs during the Vajpayee government's rule but this government in 10 years have given employment to just 1.25 crore youths," he claimed.
"I am coming here in Gurgaon which is adjacent to Delhi. The latter has now been known as the rape city, thanks to the poor law and order situation," Modi said. "They were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. I have grown selling tea. They are Namdars, I am Kamdar. You have given 60 years to them. We need just 60 months to take the country to new heights," he asserted.
In the Ghaziabad rally, Modi accused the Congress of pursuing the divide and rule policy. "For the Congress, secularism is religion first and it acts only as a vote bank politics for them. But for the BJP, secularism is India first. The Congress has followed a tradition of divide and rule policy...But we in BJP believe in the tradition of unite and develop," Modi said.
Religious lines
He also attacked Sonia saying that the Congress president was asking the people to vote on the lines of religion, and added this matter should be brought to the Election Commission's notice. Sonia had met the Shahi Iman of Jama Masjid, Syed Ahmed Bukhari recently at her residence on 10, Janpath in Delhi.
