The Prime Minister also criticised the Congress on the issues of reservation, farmers, and corruption. He accused the Congress of being anti-reservation and alleged that the Congress aims for a politics of appeasement.
During his address, Mr. Narendra Modi highlighted the BJP’s governance record, pointing to recent initiatives aimed at benefiting farmers, the poor, youth, and women.
