'Congress mother of corruption': PM Modi reacts to K'taka govt Muda scam

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday attacked Congress over the alleged role of Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah in the MUDA (Mysuru Urban Development Authority) scam and said that the party is deeply involved in corruption.
"It has only been two years, and just look at the Congress government in Karnataka. The chief minister is facing accusations of a land scam.When he appeared in the High Court, he was dismissed. The court stated that a proper investigation is necessary in this matter," said PM Modi while addressing a rally in Haryana's Sonipat.
He also took a dig at Congress and said ten years ago the grand old party handed over Haryana to 'Dalals and Damads.'
"Ten years ago when there was a Congress government here, the farmers' lands were looted. The Congress had handed over Haryana to Dalals and Damads. There was no job which could be attained without cheating, and there was no organization free of corruption," said the Prime Minister.
PM Modi further criticized the Congress party for marginalizing disadvantaged communities in the state.
"Congress has always kept SC/ST/OBC away from participation. It was Baba Saheb Ambedkar who gave reservation to Dalits, otherwise like OBC, Dalits would also have to wait for Congress' defeat for reservation. Whenever Congress has been away from the government, the poor, SC/ST/OBC have got their rights. Whenever Congress has been in the government, it has snatched the rights of Dalits and backward classes," PM Modi said.
"There is no party more corrupt than the Congress. You also know that wherever Congress got the chance, wherever it set foot, corruption and nepotism are certain there. It is Congress that creates and nurtures corruption in the Indian government system," he further added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while discussing the agricultural reforms in Haryana under the BJP government, highlighted the party's commitment to uplift farmers.
"The BJP government in Haryana has decided to give MSP for 24 crops, but when the Congress was here, it hated to buy crops on MSP. This is the truth of the Congress party which the farmers need to learn. The BJP government is continuously taking decisions in the benefit of the farmers," PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister also highlighted the state's economic and infrastructure development, focusing on improved connectivity and highway construction. He said that global companies are eager to invest in India and establish factories, which would greatly benefit Haryana's youth and farmers.
Additionally, recognizing Haryana's contributions to national achievements, particularly in sports, PM Modi said, "Haryana is the medal factory of India. In the Olympic and world games, the youth of Haryana has participated majorly. Small nurseries of Olympic games will be built in each district so that the youth of Haryana represents the country at international platforms."
