Maddur (Karnataka):Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday accused opposition party Congress being busy digging his grave, as he claimed he continuously strives for the development of the country and the welfare of the poor. He was speaking in Karnataka at his sixth visit this year in the state where Assembly elections are due by May.
"Amid the efforts of the double engine government for the development of the country and the progress of its people, what is Congress and its associates doing? ...Congress is dreaming about digging the kabr (grave) of Modi," said the PM, who inaugurated the 118 Km long Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway project here in Mandya district.
Addressing the gathering of people here in Maddur, Modi also asserted that people's blessings is his biggest protection shield. On a cryptic note, Modi further said that the "double engine" government is a necessity for the fast-paced development of the state.
"Congress is busy digging Modi's grave, while Modi is busy in improving the lives of poor. Congress people who are dreaming about digging the grave of Modi, don't know that the blessings of crores of mothers, sisters, daughters, and people is the biggest protection shield for Modi," he added.
"It did not leave any stone unturned to destroy poor men and poor families. The money that was there for the development of the poor, thousands of crores of rupees of it was looted by the Congress government," he claimed.
