PM Modi addresses rally in Pathankot, asks people to establish BJP in Punjab, give farewell to Congress

He hit out at Congress and said that wherever the BJP established itself, the `remote control family` from Delhi was wiped out.

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Pathankot on Wednesday (February 16, 2022) and asked people to establish Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Punjab and give farewell to Congress.

He attacked the grand old party and said that wherever the BJP established itself, the "remote control family" from Delhi was wiped out. 

"Wherever BJP established itself, the remote control family (Congress) from Delhi was wiped out. Wherever there is peace, appeasement has been given a farewell, the same farewell has to be given in Punjab also," he said.

He said that the party also failed to keep Kartarpur Sahib, the final resting place of Guru Nanak Dev, within India's territory during the Partition.

AAP is photocopy of Congress

The Prime Minister also hit out at Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and said that it is Congress' xerox.

"If Congress is original, AAP is its xerox...One looted Punjab while the other one is involved in scam after scam in Delhi. Despite being 'Ek hi thali ke chatte batte', they (AAP and Congress) are playing 'noora kushti' (fixed fight) in Punjab, pretending to be against each other," he said.

PM Modi said that the 'Punjabiyat is of umpteen importance to us', while the Opposition views Punjab from the lens of 'Siyasat' (politics)

"When Captain (Amarinder) Sahab was in Congress, he would stop them from moving in the wrong direction. Now, he is also not there," PM Modi said.

He urged people to vote on February 20 keeping in mind the security of Punjab, peace and tranquility in Punjab and for the development of the state.

"Give me five years to serve you. I assure you farming, trade and industry will be made profitable," PM Modi said at the poll rally.
