Charkhi Dadri: Asking the people of Haryana not to fall for BJP’s poll promises, Congress President Shri Mallikarjun Kharge on October 2, 2024, alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is an expert in telling lies and the BJP has failed to fulfil commitments made to voters in the past.

“It is Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri’s birth anniversaries today. Mahatma Gandhi taught us truth and non-violence. I don’t want to say this, but those in power know how much truth and how much lies they speak,” said Shri Mallikarjun Kharge addressing a poll rally at Badhra in Charkhi Dadri, Haryana.

“Modi ji toh bharosa todne walo ka bhi sardar hai, unake anaginat jhooth, vaade, ye to aap jaanate hee hain,” Modi is the leader of those who break trust. His numerous lies, promises, you know about it, he added in the presence of former Haryana Chief Minister Shri Bhupinder Singh Hooda and former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Shri Satya Pal Malik.

Congress President said that Prime Minister Modi made so many promises during the past ten years “that there is no limit” to it. “The person, who is the Prime Minister for ten years, can he speak a lie? Did former Prime Ministers Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi or Rajiv Gandhi say such thing, no one did,” he said.

“He PM Modi said the Congress people had stashed their black money in foreign shores and he Modi will bring it back and put ` 15 lakh in everyone’s pocket,” he added. And also “promised 2 crore jobs to youth each year”.

“Where did those 20 crore jobs go which they had to give in ten years?” he asked. Shri Mallikarjun Kharge said the BJP is saying now during the polls in Haryana that they will give five lakh jobs, whereas they did not fill the over 1.60 lakh vacant posts. “Manohar Lal Khattar was the Chief Minister for nine-and-a-half years, but he was changed. He was changed because that engine failed. Had their work been proper, had they kept their promises, what was the need to change. The fact that they changed him means they have not been able to fulfil the promises they made to people,” he added. Those in power are speaking such lies, Shri Mallikarjun Kharge said.

The Congress President said that the people still remember the works done during Bhupinder Singh Hooda’s time, adding his Party does what it says. “That is why I keep saying this repeatedly that BJP is ‘jhoothon ki sardar’ and Modi is expert in telling lies. He is not afraid,” he alleged. Shri Mallikarjun Kharge said that the Congress leaders, who became the Prime Ministers, always fought for their country. What was the slogan given by Lal Bahadur Shastri, it was “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan”, he said. “They don’t know about jawans, nor kisans, they only know the RSS’ agenda. What else they know. No one is farmer in the RSS or BJP. This is why they don’t understand the pain of the farmers,” he said.

He said that the Congress leaders, who became the Prime Ministers always worked for the country. During the UPA’s tenure, Rs. 72,000 crore debt of farmers was waived. “Who carved Haryana as a separate state, it was Indira Gandhi,” he said. Haryana is number one in sports including in wrestling. “During the BJP’s rule, the treatment that was meted to women wrestlers, everyone knows,” he said.
