Congress runs on 'damad power', says Narendra Modi

BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi addressed two public rallies in Rajasthan on Monday. Modi addressed the rally in Jodhpur first and then in Nagaur. Earlier in the day, he had addressed a rally in Jhajjar district of Haryana.

During the rally, Modi slammed the ruling UPA government and said that it had destroyed the nation and had done nothing in past ten years. If they have done something, they should give us the details, he said.

"The world is using thermal and solar power while Congress runs on 'damad' power," he added.

Addressing the issue of water crisis in the state, Modi said that despite SC order, Sonia Gandhi did nothing to provide water to the people of Rajasthan.Seeking support for Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, he said only our government can resolve the issue of water.

Keeping up his attack on the Congress, BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi said the party will be wiped out in the coming Lok Sabha polls and no one can save it.

Addressing his second rally in Rajasthan's Nagaur district, Modi said: "There is no one who can save Congress now."

"Now it is to be seen what kind of farewell is to be given to the Congress... you give them such a farewell that they do not come back to power in seven generations."

The crowd chanted and shouted slogans as Modi in his usual style continued to criticise Congress and take pot shots at party president Sonia Gandhi and her son and party vice president Rahul Gandhi.

Referring to Rahul Gandhi's speech in which he said that his mother Sonia Gandhi considers power as poison, Modi said: "Who has been in power the maximum - the Congresss...so who has tasted poison the most....in whose stomach is maximum poison?"

Modi again referred to Rahul Gandhi as "shedhzada" (prince) and said that he speaks like he has come from Mars.

"The Congress has nothing to do with this country. Are those who are running the government at the centre telling you what they did for you. You should ask the Congress leaders when they come to you what have they have done in the last 10 years."

"They promised to create employment and curb inflation... but have they have fulfilled any promise and again they have come out with a manifesto to lure people," he said.

Asking the people to vote for the BJP, Modi appealed to them to give all 25 Lok Sabha seats in Rajasthan to the BJP to enable it form a strong government.
