Panaji: With the 2014 general elections barely months away, Narendra Modi today tore into the ruling UPA government over issues of corruption and price rise and called Dr Manmohan Singh's 10 years as Prime Minister the worst period in the country's history.
"Congress has wasted the 50 years after independence. Rajiv Gandhi always spoke of making India ready for the 21st century but look what has happened. India has never seen days worse than those in the past 10 years," Mr Modi said while addressing a 'Vijay Sankalp' or resolve to win rally in Panaji. (Highlights of Mr Modi's speech)
"The Congress has taken India 50 years behind. And the people or parties who support the government are equally responsible... We used to vote for a person or party. In 2014, vote for India," Mr Modi said.
"On the basis of religion, injustice should not be done to anybody. If one is innocent he or she must be free but this must be uniformly applied," Mr Modi said.
The rally, which was attended by nearly two lakh people, was the state's biggest, claimed the BJP. Mr Modi had started his speech in Konkani, which drew loud cheers from the crowd.
