As he addressed a gathering in Churu, Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi compared his government's development efforts during last decade to a 'trailer'
The PM campaigned for Devendra Jhajharia, a paralympic gold medalist who is representing the BJP in the Churu Lok Sabha seat, replacing incumbent MP Rahul Kaswan, who switched to Congress after being denied the BJP ticket.
Modi took a swipe at the Congress party, blaming its alleged scams and corruption for the economic downturn in the country.
He highlighted the BJP's commitment to fulfilling its promises, contrasting the party's 'Sankalp Patra' with the Congress manifesto, suggesting that BJP's resolutions are backed by action and implementation.
The PM's remarks coincided with the release of the Congress party's manifesto, focusing on issues like unemployment, defending constitutional values, and investigating BJP's schemes like demonetisation and electoral bonds.
Congress promised to reserve 50 per cent of Union government jobs for women by 2025 and emphasises justice for youth, women, farmers, workers, and shareholders, aiming to address key socio-economic concerns.
Rajasthan will go to the polls in two phases, on April 19 and April 26, with 12 Lok Sabha seats in the first phase and 13 seats in the second phase.
The Lok Sabha elections 2024, spanning seven phases starting from April 19, will see nearly 97 crore eligible voters exercising their franchise, with counting scheduled for June 4.
