Here are the LIVE Updates of the Lok Sabha elections 2019:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi stepped up his attack on the Congress over its leader Sam Pitroda's hua to hua (It happened, so what?) remark on the anti-Sikh riots in 1984. The remark reflects the arrogance of the opposition party, PM Modi said.
PM Modi said ''hua to hua'' are not just three words but reflect the arrogance of the Congress. While they (Congress leaders) were saying "hua to hua", the people of the country were saying "enough is enough", Modi said. These ''mahamilavati'' people are saying ''hua toh hua'', but the country is now saying ''mahamilavati logon ab bohot hua'' (enough is enough), he said.
Targeting the Kamal Nath government in Madhya Pradesh over its alleged failure to implement its loan waiver promise in the state, Modi likened people to God and said, "The Congress cheated God." He said the Congress had a problem saying ''Bharat Mata ki Jai'', but was happy abusing him.
PM Modi also took a jibe at Congress veteran Digvijay Singh, who is contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Bhopal, for not casting his vote.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing a public meeting in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh. Targetting Congress president Rahul Gandhi, he says that he begins his speeches with abuses. He further alleges that the Gandhi family uses the IAF jets for their personal trips and on being questioned say that, " What's done is done."
PM Modi says that the Congress has issues with the slogan 'bharat mata ki jai' and they keep on abusing me. He questions the people, "You tell me how will this country grow by 'Gali bhakti' or 'Rashtr bhakti' ." He further alleges that the Congress has committed so many scams including Bofors, submarine scam, helicopter scam but all they have to say is, "Hua to hua (What's done is done.) This is their ideology and arrogance. But the people will now give them a befitting reply, "Ab bahut hua (Enough is enough)."
PM Modi, says that the Congress rule over the years has ruined the country. Calling them 'mahamilavati' (adulterated), the PM says that they are running dynasty politics and are only concerned with gaining benefits for their family. They never cared for the people. "In their reign, our brave sons could not get to the bulletproof jackets. In the terrorist attacks, our brave colleagues lost their lives in naxal attacks," he says.
The first time voters in the country are closely watching all the leaders of the Indian Congress. A young fellow who is out to vote for the development of the country, he is teaching you 'do not need to vote': PM Modi.
A family of 55 years of independence has duped the country. Do you still want to allow them to be cheated? What did he say about the power bill? Bill half or power supply half: PM Modi
