PM Modi concludes his speech in Ajmer.
Asking voters to be wary of parties that create fear and doubt, PM Modi said, "They make you feel frustrated with life and by doing so, they sit comfortably playing on your doubts and fears. Beware of such people and parties."
"There would be no Indian who would not be proud of our jawans and the surgical strike they had conducted. But look at the Congress, they even mocked our jawans," PM Modi said.
Continuing his attack on the Congress, PM Modi said, "Today after 60 years the country has got a direction, do not give them (Congress) a chance to look here again."
"This vote-bank politics is not just restricted to elections, but it destroys the entire system. Please don't let such people get into any corner of the country," PM Modi said.
Upping the ante against the Congress, Modi said, "Congress leaders are busy serving one family. No wonder they do not have the time to come to the State Assembly or raise issues concerning Rajasthan, women empowerment among others."
"The BJP does not believe in doing politics over the Hindus and Muslims. We believe in the policy of uniting and not dividing," PM Modi said.
Stating that the ruling BJP government in the state believes in accountability, PM Modi said, "We are nearing the end of our term in Rajasthan and we are here to give you a report of all that we have done. It is a matter of honour to be here in your service and to fearlessly give you an account of everything we've done for your benefit."
Hitting out at the Opposition, PM Modi said, "If the parties who indulge in vote bank politics come to power, they will divide the government officers according to their politics and provide posts only to those who fit their vote bank," PM Modi said.
"I am the Prime Minister for the nation, but a worker for the BJP. So wherever I am invited, even if at a booth-level meeting, I will be present," PM Modi told the crowd.
Listing out the achievements of her government, Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje said, "I would like to thank the prime minister for his schemes for the poor and farmers."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived at Ajmer and will shortly address the Vijay Sankalp Sabha, to mark the completion of Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje’s state-wide ‘Gaurav Yatra’ that began in August ahead of the Assembly elections. “Nearly three lakh party workers will attend the historic rally in Ajmer,” party’s state chief Madan Lal Saini had said.
