At PM’s Mega Campaign Speech In Karnataka, Message To End “Revdi Culture”
The Prime Minister said states are getting immersed in debt because of freebies, and emphasised that the country and the governments cannot be run like this.
“In our country some political parties have made politics the means of power and corruption, to achieve this, they are using all means like ‘saam, dham, dhand, bedh’. These political parties don’t think about the future of the country, future generation of Karnataka, its youth, women,” PM Modi said.
The party said earlier this week about 50 lakh workers from 58,112 booths would attend this “virtual rally” of the Prime Minister.
The State BJP is looking to PM Modi to bolster its campaign.
Noting that people of Karnataka have huge trust in state BJP, PM Modi told party Karyakartas that “Your effort in every booth will make BJP win with record seats.”
“We have to make people understand our programmes, benefits of double engine governments at the booth level by sitting and talking to them. Those who have the responsibility to make long speeches will do it, but karyakartas have to put their strength in booths and win the booths.”
For the fast-paced all round development, a strong and stable BJP’s government with full majority is important, the Prime Minister said, adding that the people of Karnataka are ready to form such a BJP government in the state, “breaking all the records”.
“I will also work with you (karyakartas) in the coming days as a BJP karyakarta to seek the blessings of people of Karnataka and win the trust of Kannadiaga,” he said, stressing on victory in booths PM Modi said because of freebie politics, several States are making large scale spendings for the sake of partisan politics, which is also eating into the “share” of future generations.
PM Modi affirmed that the BJP was not taking the shortcuts, but was working for developed India with good investment in modern physical, digital and social infrastructure, and that his other interpretation for FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) is ‘First Develop India’ “BJP doesn’t think about five years of its own rule, but thinks about the country. We don’t think about the party but think about the country. We don’t think just about present electoral politics but about taking India ahead in the next 25 years.”
To address some temporary challenges, all possible help is being provided for the poor, like free ration, free vaccination, he said and added that it is the duty of the government, “but if we have to make India progress, we have to get rid of this revdi culture.”
