Modi hits campaign trail in Haryana, talks of smart cities and better jobs

Karnal (Haryana): Prime Minister Narendra Mod on Saturday sought change from the people of Haryana and urged them to vote for the BJP so that it forms the government with full majority.

Addressing his first election rally after the recent Lok Sabha elections, Modi said that the Oct 15 elections for Haryana’s 90 assembly seats would decide the future of Haryana.

“I want you to vote for the BJP so that it forms the government with full majority. Change is important if you want to move forward. Make Haryana free from the Congress misrule,” Modi said.

According to a post in IBN-Live, Modi wooed voters with his ‘smart-city’ plans. He said he wanted them to bring a clear majority BJP government in the state to help it progress.

He targeted Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda government over alleged land scams. He also criticised the Congress regime for low literacy rate and unemployment in the state. He wooed voters with better job opportunities and security.

Modi also took a dig at former CM Om Prakash Chautala, who is out on parole, saying, “If you have any work, is it easier to go to Chandigarh or Tihar Jail? Choice is yours.”
