NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday pitched the upcoming Lok Sabha polls as an election to fulfill people’s aspirations after his Government “fulfilled” their necessities, as he cautioned the BJP rank and file against any “smallest lapse” that may result in a setback like in 2004.
The Opposition’s proposed grand alliance, which he called ‘mahamilavat’ (highly adulterated), will send the country to ICU (intensive care unit), Modi said, referring to “corruption and scams” under the previous UPA rule and describing the combine as a mixture of “oil and water” that will leave them useless.
In a video-interaction with BJP workers and sympathisers from across the country, he referred to the “experience of Atal ji” to say a smallest lapse may stop the fast-paced development under his Government and “ease of corruption” and scams will rule again.
The first BJP-led NDA Government headed by Atal Bihari Vajpayee had suffered an unexpected loss in the 2004 polls. Modi said the Vajpayee Government’s works “went in vain” as the country was pushed backwards under the subsequent Congress-led UPA rule of “corruption and scams”. (AGENCIES)
