‘Cong threatening nation will be on fire if BJP wins’: PM Modi in Rajasthan

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday alleged Congress leaders were making threats of arson because they fear the BJP would win the Lok Sabha elections.

“This election is to fulfil the dream of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’… Modi says to remove corruption… Congress and the INDIA alliance are not contesting this election for the country but for their own selfish motives. They say save the corrupt; Modi says remove corruption,” he said at a public rally in Rajasthan’s Kotputli.

“This is the first election in which leaders of the Congress party are not talking about winning the elections themselves but are threatening the country that if the BJP wins, the country will be on fire,” he said.

In a rally at Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi had said, “If the BJP wins these match-fixed elections and changes the Constitution, the whole country will be on fire. Remember this.”

PM Modi said: “The BJP considers the entire country as a family. Congress considers their family bigger than the nation. The BJP has raised the pride of the country while Congress has been abusing the country when they go to foreign land.”
