Prime Minister Narendra Modi today mocked the Congress's proposed NYAY scheme which translates to "justice" in Hindi literally and claimed that the grand old party has finally agreed that injustice was done by them over the past 60 years. "Congress and dishonesty are best friends. But sometimes by mistake they end up speaking the truth. Now they are saying Nyay will happen. Even if they did not intend to, they have admitted that they had done injustice for the 60 years," PM Modi said at a massive rally in Theni.
PM Modi is addressing rallies in Tamil Nadu day after Congress President Rahul Gandhi campaigned across the state. He is in the state to campaign for the second phase of the Lok Sabha elections. Tamil Nadu votes in a single phase on April 18. From Tamil Nadu, PM heads to neighbouring Karnataka, where he will address public gatherings in Mangalore and Bengaluru.
The Congress chief, who paid a visit to Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, will travel to Karnataka where he is expected to address three rallies. Mr Gandhi visited a memorial in Punjab's Amritsar to pay tribute to the those who lost their lives in the massacre in Punjab's Amritsar on 1919.
Rahul Gandhi's sister, Priyanka, who has been made in-charge of eastern UP, will hold roadshows in Fatehpur Sikri and Aligarh today.
Voting for 543 Lok Sabha seats will be held in seven phases: April 11, April 18, April 23, April 29, May 6, May 12 and May 19. Counting will be done on May 23.

- "I want reply to Yogi that we have ali and also bajrangbali (Lord Hanuman).
- BJP government is misusing CBI, ED against opposition leaders . It's similar to how the congress used to misuse the agencies in their tenure
- Congress party making all kinds of lucrative promises to the poor . The party 's promise of giving Rs 6,000 per month to the poor is not going to help. If we come to power at the Centre , we will not give money to the poor but arrange for jobs. Would request the poor to ignore the inducements of the Congress.
Lok Sabha Elections 2019: Defending Smriti Irani In Degree Row, Arun Jaitley Jabs Rahul GandhiUnion Minister Arun Jaitley today jumped to the defence of his colleague Smriti Irani who has been accused by the opposition of providing false information on her educational qualification in her nomination papers for the Lok Sabha elections."
- India is a great country, a vibrant democracy... it is the duty of every individual to protect this... Democracy is a process in nation-making...
- All opposition parties are fighting on democratic compulsions.. Enforcement Directorate, RBI.and other democratic institutions are being undermined. Government is interfering through Election Commission and destroying democracy. When polls are announced its a level playing field... they are violating the principle.
- We have already complained about EVMs... we just can't trust them. When we asked the EC to count paper trails of 50% EVMs, they said no.... then wen approached the Supreme Court, and they allowed counting of paper trails for one of the five EVMs in each constituency... even that is not enough.
- In Andhra Pradesh they have been doing all sorts of illegal things... they have transferred our collectors and other officials. Murder has also been committed. What is the justification of all this? What is the IB doing? What are other government departments and institutions doing?
- The Election Commission is not cooperating with us. The election commission is working on the orders of the prime minister. I have complained to EC and CEO of Andhra, and no action has been taken. This is very unfair.
Coming up later in the day: Shri @narendramodi's rallies in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Also rallies of Shri @AmitShah's in Uttar Pradesh. And later in the evening, Smt.@SushmaSwaraj in conversation with Global Indians. It's a packed schedule. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/9iS0XajjwH

The devotees of Lord Ayyappa should be able to reach him easily.
The devotees of Sundaramahalingam should be facilitated: PM @narendramodi in Theni, Tamil Nadu
- Through the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, lakhs of farmers in Tamil Nadu are now receiving over Rs 4,000 crore every year.
- For decades, farmers were demanding MSP at 1.5 times the cost. We have fulfilled this demand.
- I want to ask the Congress party: Who will do Nyay to the victims of the 1984 Sikh riots?
- Who will do Nyay to all the victims of the ant-Dalit massacres that happened under their watch.
- Who will do Nyay to the Governments of the great MGR and Karunanidhi Ji, which were dismissed by Congress just because one family did not like those leaders.
- Who will do Nyay to the victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy, among the worst environment disasters in India. That too happened under Congress rule.
Congress and dishonesty are best friends but sometimes, by mistake they end of speaking the truth.

Now they are saying- 'Ab Hoga Nyay' or now there shall be justice.
Even if they did not intend to, they have admitted that all they have done so far is 'Anyay' or injustice: PM
- It is now up to you to decide: How will you deal with those who question the surgical strike and the air strike done by our brave Armed Forces.
- How do you deal with those who wish to weaken the Armed Forces?
- How do you deal with those who wish to talk to the sponsors of terrorism.
- When it comes to national security, there can be no compromises.
- I assure my fellow Indians that we leave no stone unturned in protecting India and destroying forces of terror.
- When a brave Indian fighter pilot was captured in Pakistan, it was ensured that he is back home in record time.Even then, Congress was playing politics over national security, insulting our forces.
What all have we been witness to?

Father becomes the Finance Minister and son loots the country.

- We observe today, the solemn occasion, of the completion of 100 years since the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. I pay my respects to the martyrs of this incident
- I also pay homage to the great MGR and Jayalalithaa Ji. India is proud of these two iconic leaders, who lived and worked for the poor. Their social welfare schemes ensured lakhs of people are freed from poverty.
- We move forward with the dream of a New India. An India, where everyone, from the soldier to the farmer, can lead a life with security, prosperity and dignity.
- Today, India is rapidly making a mark in the world. The Congress, the DMK, and their Maha Milawati (Grand alliance) friends cannot accept this. That is why, they are unhappy with me.
- Those who were sworn enemies, have come together, in an effort to hoodwink the people of Tamil Nadu.
- Those of you, who recall 1979, would know how the Congress had humiliated the DMK.
- More recently, when the 2G scam happened, Kanimozhi was in jail and DMK leaders were criticizing the Congress.
- Despite such bitterness in the past, today, the Congress and the DMK are together again, in an attempt to mislead the people. All the corrupt have ganged up in an attempt to defeat Modi.
- Some days ago, DMK chief projected the Naamdaar as Prime Minister.
- But no one was ready to accept it. Not even their Maha Milawati friends. Why? Because they all want to be PM.
