HERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF PM MODI'S RALLY IN BHARATPUR

03:40 pm: "Earlier, all Congress veterans came from Uttar Pradesh. But, once UP overthrew the Congress, it has never been able to make inroads in the state. Same is the case with Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh. And, from whichever state the Congress has exited, that state has only been on the path of growth and progress," PM Modi in Bharatpur.

03:38 pm: "Had the first Prime Minister of India been Vallabhbhai Patel, the son of a farmer, the issue of farm distress would never have struck our nation!" PM Modi in Bharatpur

03:37 pm: "Swaminathan Commission had given the report on MSP 10 years back, however, the remote control government, run by 'Madame' [Sonia Gandhi] never paid heed to it. Had MSP = 1.5 times the cost of produce been given 10 years back, none of the farmers would be debt-ridden. The BJP government came and resolved the issue," PM Modi in Bharatpur. 

03:34 pm: "The Congress party, which has only churned out leaders from their families, who are deeply entrenched in Dynasty politics, will never think about the future of the country and the betterment of the army. The families of the army have been asking for One Rank One Pension (OROP) for 40 years. But, the Congress government never paid heed to those requests. But, the BJP government gave Rs. 11,000 crore from the national treasury to the families of the Jawans " PM Modi in Bharatpur 

03:33 pm: "When India was facing cross-border terrorism and continuous militancy in Kashmir, wasn't it necessary to enter their territory and neutralise these threats. Is there anyone who opposes the Surgical Strike? And, then the Congress party, which is just strategising on how to get the throne in Delhi, has the audacity to ask for proof of the Surgical Strike!" PM Modi in Bharatpur.

03:22 pm: "India is making a mark on the map of the world due to the foreign policy adopted by the NDA government – be it the US, Russia, the Middle East, SAARC counties," PM Modi in Bharatpur. 

03:20 pm: "So many scams – chopper scam, coal scam, 2G spectrum scam – have stopped after BJP was voted to power in 2014", PM Modi in Bharatpur. 

03:18 pm: "Earlier, during the UPA rule, there have been so many bomb blasts --  be it Mumbai locals, or Ajmer Sharif, or a temple in Varanasi, or 26/11. But, after 2014, such incidents have reduced significantly. And this is all because of your vote!": PM Modi in Bharatpur. 

03:16 pm: "Bharatpur is the other name for courage and bravery. The Iron Fort of this land still stands tall. Bharatpur is the strength of Rajasthan. The Britishers were defeated 13 times in Bharatpur. Never has it happened that the bravery of this land has not impacted the development of the state. However, the Naamdaar party humiliates the martyrs of this land. Elections are a festival of democracy. Everybody participates in this festival. In Chhattisgarh, when people were voting, there was an attack by Maoists. In that situation, a brave soldier from Bharatpur was martyred. And the Naamdaar  [Congress] party says that Maoists, Naxals are revolutionaries! Will the people of Bharatpur ever forget him? : PM Modi in Bharatpur.
