LIVE: If the son (Rahul) can't take care of Amethi, how will he run the nation, asks Modi at Surguja rally

Surguja (Chhattisgarh): Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's prime minister candidate Narendra Modi today ridiculed Congress president Sonia Gandhi for pleading with people of Amethi to take care of her son Rahul Gandhi.Addressing an election rally in Surguja of Chhattisgarh, Modi wondered if Rahul can't take of Amethi, how will he run the nation. “Yesterday, Sonia Ji told people of Amethi that Indira ji had offered Amethi to her son and now I'm giving Amethi to my son and please take care of him. On the other hand she says that he will run the nation. The question is that the son who can't take care of Amethi, how will he run the nation?” asked Modi.Modi also referred to the book released by Sanjay Baru,former media advisor of PM, and said that the book has revealed that it's a Mother-Son (Maa-Beta) government in Delhi.“The book written by a former employee of PMO reveals that it's a ‘Mother-Son' (Maa-Beta) govt in Delhi. For the first time, PMO did a press conference to inform that PM spoke 1100 times in last 10 years. I'm really surprised. The PM's performance in last 10 years is that he spoke for 1100 times. Who will save this nation with these people in power? The nation can't be saved with these people,” added Modi.Modi also attacked Rahul for raising the issue of women safety in his speeches. Modi said that Rahul speaks as if he has come from Mars and has nothing to do with the Delhi govt.“Some days ago, Rahul came here and talked about women safety. Every day , on television, you see reports of rapes in Delhi. Rahul Ji, you are in Delhi , your govt is in Delhi. Girls are being raped right under your nose. I want to share my pain with you. The govt of India releases report of Crime against Women. According to this report, out of top 10 states with highest number of crime against women, 7 belong to Congress and the rest 3 belongs to its allies. There is not a single BJP govt in these top 10 states. Rahul ji, for how long will you keep telling lies? I believe that the slogan of Congress is ‘Har Haath Loot, Har Hoth Jhooth',” said Modi.After Surguja, Modi will address two more rallies in Bilaspur and Durg of Chhattisgarh state.After Chhattisgarh, Modi will leave for Maharashtra where he will be addressing a rally in Jalgaon. Here we are giving you live updates on Modi's rallies:Bhilai rally:3:00pm - Modi concludes his speech with chants of 'Bharat mata Ki Jai'2:58pm -Modi: I want to appeal to youth esp those belonging to 18-28 age group. Even 5 months are important for deciding your future. Make sure that your next 5 years are not wasted. The Country needs a strong government and for forming a strong government I need 300 lotus. Please send lotus to Delhi from all seats in Chhattisgarh. Please make BJP victorious.2:55pm -Modi: There is a very shrewd politician in India who can be trusted at all comes from Chhattisgarh. But he has got some qualities. He keeps the mother-son duo in his grip and keeps threatening him. When Chhattisgarh was formed, he was in power. This person has destroyed Chhattisgarh. It's good that you saved Chhattisgarh from this person. Nowadays he is distributing leaflets on behalf of BJP. Don't trust him. I'm grateful to the BJP that it has made a person like me, who comes from a humble background, its PM candidate. The Congres is not able to digest it.2:50pm -Modi: Do you want black money to be brought back? The crowd says-Yes. But there are people who don't want this because they have their money stacked overseas. We'll bring back that money. I'll distribute 1-2 percent of that money among the salaried class. Those who are honest will be given respect but those who are fraud will be brought to book. 2:45pm -Modi: Earlier it was Maa-Beta (mother-son) but now even daughter has joined in. The entire RSVP is trying its best. Rahul tals about the person riding a white horse while his mother sarcastically remarked that all this will be done by one man. She asked if he has a magic wand in his hand? Yesterday, I realized from the wall Street Journal which has reported that Jija ji (not 2G) can do this wonder. He has done his studies till 10th, had 1 lakh in his pocket but he converted it into 300 crore within 3 years. 2:40pm -Modi: I have come here to ask you to give me one opportunity of serving you. You have given 60 years to Congress, give me 60 months only. I have the capacity of doing things in 60 months what they could not do in 60 years. 2:37pm -Modi: For Congress, a visit to a poor's home is like a tourism destination. Rahul goes to a poor's home to decipher how a poor looks like.He gets clicked with them. He tries to find out if apoor person has two hands, two legs and one stomach. I was grown up in poverty. I know how the night passed off when we had nothing to eat. 2:35pm -Modi: They are shivering because they know what will be their place after May 16. They are thinking that they were born will silver spoons. Father, grandfather, grandmother were all PMs. And now a 'Chaiwallah' is trying to stop me. The Congress party is finding hard to tolerate it. They have a dynastic and feudal mindset. They are not willing to accept the fact that a poor person has reached this level through sheer hard work. 2:30pm -Modi: The gathering clearly indicates which way the wind is blowing. This election is being fought by people of this country. Normally elections are meant to make a strategy for dethroning the Delhi government. But for the first time what is happening is that the ruling party is making strategy with even those who have returned from jails to stop Modi at any cost.Bilaspur rally:1:07pm- Modi concludes his speech with chants of Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.01:05 pm- Modi: For forming a strong govt in Delhi, I need 300 Lotus. Please send lotus from all seats in Chhattisgarh this time. This time, please vote for making a strong govt in Delhi.01:02pm- Modi: I'm busy 24 hours finding solutions to the problems that nation is facing but they are busy finding solution to Modi. Whatever I say they respond by giving calls to protect secularism. It's difficult for Congress to survive this time. There will be many states where Congress account will not be opened. There will not be one state where Congress will touch even two digit.01:00pm- Modi: Is there any person here who can convert 1 lakh into 300 crore? This can be done by the Maa-Beta govt.12:59pm- Modi: The Maa-beta govt in Delhi had said that if Congress govt was formed then employment will be given to 10 crore youth. Let me ask if anybody from Bilaspur got employment. (Crowd says No)…they have promised the same thing again. Rahul ji, for how long will you hoodwink people?12:57pm- Modi: It was Vajpayee who gave us Chhattisgarh. Shivraj Singh Chouhan took MP out of BIMARU category while Raman Singh is taking Chhattisgarh on the path of developmet. Surguja rally:11:45 am: Modi concludes his speech with chants of ‘Bharat Mata Ki jai'. 11:42am- Modi: I want to tell Maoists to decide whether life will change through killing spree or using ballot. Violence can't change lives. Bombs can't change lives. Killing of innocents can't make our lives better. Let's create opportunities for our youth. Let's provide them employment. The nation is fed up with divisive politics. My candidates name includes ‘Lotus'. Please press on Lotus button and make BJP victorious in elections.11:40am- Modi: This is one land where people from 20-25 states stay. Have you seen a magician who can change fortunes overnight? The' Maa-Beta govt ‘says that there is a man coming who says he can do everything. Yesterday I got to know about this man through an American newspaper. He is a man who converted 1 lakh into 300 crores. Can you do it? It's the magic of Maa-Beta. Now we'll not allow the nation to be plundered like this.11:39am- Modi: The height of shamelessness is that although they failed to spend even one Rupee in lasdt one year, once again they allocated Rs 100 Cr fund in the interim budget for this “Nirbhaya Fund”. They believe in paper work only. Rahul speaks as he has nothing to do with the govt running in Delhi. He talks as if he has come from Mars. Should the Congress govt give details of every penny spent or not? Has the inflation gone down? They should tell people what they have done for people in last 10 years?11:38am- Modi: You know a girl ‘Nirbhaya' was brutally raped and killed in Delhi. The youth protested on the streets of Delhi demanding justice for Nirbhaya. Scared of the protest by the youth, the govt allocated Rs 100 crore under “Nirbhaya fund” for protecting women. But you'll be sad to know that not a single penny has been spent from this fund in last one year. The Congress men should commit suicide. Stop hoodwinking people. 11:35am- Modi: Some days agao, Rahul came here and talked about women safety. Every day , on television, you see reports of rapes in Delhi. Rahul Ji, you are in Delhi , your govt is in Delhi. Girls are being raped right under your nose. I want to share my pain with you. The govt of India releases report of Crime against Women. According to this report, out of top 10 states with highest number of crime against women, 7 belong to Congress and the rest 3 belongs to its allies. There is not a single BJP govt in these top 10 states. Rahul ji, for how long will you keep telling lies? I believe that the slogan of Congress is “Har Haath Loot, Har Hoth Jhooth”.11:32am- Modi: Yesterday, Sonia Ji told people of Amethi that Indira ji had offered Amethi to her son and now I'm giving Amethi to my son and please take care of him. On the other hand she says that he will run the nation. The question is that the son who can't take care of Amethi, how will he take care of the nation?11:30am- Modi: The book written by a former employee of PMO reveals that it's a ‘Mother-Son' (Maa-Beta) govt in Delhi. For the first time, PMO did a press conference to inform that PM spoke 1100 times in last 10 years. I'm really surprised. The PM's performance in last 10 years is that he spoke for 1100 times. Who will save this nation with these people in power? The nation can't be saved with these people.11:25am- Modi: Congressmen had gone to tailors to make suits for swearing in. They had even distributed portfolios among themselves. But people of Chhattisgarh poured cold water on their dreams. Normally people forgive governments after 5 years but people of Chhattisgarh have rejected Congress for 15 consecutive years.11:20am- Modi: BJP is a party of workers. We believe in democratic means. This election is not being fough by any political party or candidate. This election is being fought by the people of this country. 11:18am- Modi begins his speech in Surguja of Chhattisgarh8am: Police personnel in large number deployed in Surguja, Bilaspur and Durg areas of Chhatisgarh
