Full Speech To BJP Party Workers In Karnataka Via Video ConferencingKarnataka Polls: PM Modi Interacts With BJP Leaders, Candidates And
Party WorkersPM Modi's Speech To BJP Candidates And Party Workers In Karnataka: HighlightsPM Narendra Modi interacted with BJP leaders,
candidates, party workers, elected members and office-bearers through his 'Narendra Modi' mobile app
Here are the highlights of his speech:We have a three pronged agenda for Karnataka: Development, Fast paced development, All round
The BJP has given all its focus and importance to the development of the state.We know other political parties hesitate to talk on
development because development can be quantified
This was unacceptable to those parties which only concentrated on division
We govern and also fight elections based only on development model.If you analyse the last few elections, you will realise how few political
parties have indulged only in dividing societies on religious lines
They exploit emotions of some community before elections and forget them after the elections
The BJP, on the other hand, has focused on good governance and development for all.We have to win the hearts of the people
We have to work sincerely for the people
Unlike Congress, we do not believe in lip service, we believe in hard work on the ground, and the stats and records show it all.We want to
win elections on the issue of development, based on the strength of the organization and winning the confidence of people of Karnataka
We don't want to win elections by misleading the public.We hear and see things that might discourage us, others might misuse data, involve
foreign agencies and take wrong methods, but not us
We should not let that bother us
We must be motivated and focused and live up to the people's expectations with our hard work and honesty.The Congress does not walk the
talk, they do deliver on the ground
They do not care for development
All that matters to them is power
Here are some records that prove how much more efficient the BJP is compared to them
In 4 years the Congress has spent less than 400 crores (380 crores)
Compare that to what the BJP did
We did over 1,600 crores towards infrastructure development.Compare their renewable energy commitment
In four years they achieved 2,000 MW, while the BJP managed 7,800 MW in the same time frame
In solar energy, they managed only 31 MW, while the BJP managed 4,800 MW in the same time (4 years)
BJP and Congress have been campaigning aggressively across the state over the last month
While the incumbent Congress government in Karnataka is looking to win a second term, the BJP, which was in power till May 2013, is looking
