Rajasthan polls: PM Modi to lead BJP campaign with roadshow in Jaipur today evening

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday targeted the ruling Congress party in Rajasthan, calling it a symbol of corruption, nepotism, and appeasement—three evils preventing India from becoming a developed nation.

Addressing a BJP campaign rally in Rajasthan's Baran district, the PM Modi said that Congress leaders are unruly and the people of the state are suffering as the ruling party has handed them over to robbers, rioters and criminals.

"As long as three enemies of the country—corruption, nepotism, and appeasement—are among us, it will be difficult to fulfill the resolution to make India a developed nation. The Congress is the biggest symbol of these three evils," Modi told the gathering.

"Be it Congress MLAs or ministers, everyone is unruly, and the public is suffering. The Congress has handed over the people of Rajasthan to robbers, rioters, tyrants, and criminals," he said. He went on to claim that even children in Rajasthan are expressing their discontent with the current leadership.

Modi directed his criticism towards the Congress's role in the law and order situation in Rajasthan, alleging that the party's ministers have been seen aligning themselves with those who committed atrocities against women.

Highlighting the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) commitment to women's welfare and safety, Modi said that Congress support boosts the morale of anti-social forces in Rajasthan.

The Prime Minister's visit to Rajasthan also included a 4.5-kilometer roadshow in Bikaner, where he rallied in support of BJP candidates for the upcoming assembly polls on November 25.

Accompanied by Union minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, Modi engaged with the crowd, waving and shaking hands during the roadshow that covered Bikaner East and Bikaner West constituencies.

Cultural performances, including the traditional Kalbelia dance, added vibrancy to the roadshow, which started from Junagadh and ended at the Gokul Circle. Strict security measures were in place for the event.

Modi will also hold a roadshow in Jaipur on Tuesday evening. It will start from Sanganeri Gate and traverse through Bapu Bazaar, Nehru Bazaar, Kishanpole Bazaar, Chhoti Chaupad, Tripolia Bazaar, Badi Chaupad and Johri Bazaar before culminating at the Sanganeri Gate.
