Uttarakhand polls: Those who looted the country will have to pay back now, says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack against the congress for indulging in corruption.

Speaking in Pithoragarh ahead of the Assembly polls in Uttarakhand, he said “the time for those who looted the country for 70 years has come to an end. I promise that those who looted the country will have to pay back now. Neither will I rest nor will I let the looters rest in peace till this task is complete. It is time everyone gives an account now.”

He asked the voters to punish the Congress party, who formed an alliance with the Samajwadi party government in Uttar Pradesh which opposed the formation of Uttarakhand state.

Slamming Congress for insulting the armed forces by questioning the veracity of surgical strikes, he said “It is a misfortune of our country that some parties and leaders raise questions about our armed forces and the valour of those who laid down their lives for the country. No one should ever question their bravery.”

He termed the cross-LoC strikes as a big incident in military history which various organisations across the world are studying about.

“Does it behove Congress to do this. Is this not an insult to the armed forces? Is this not an insult to the valour of our brave soldiers? You do politics and attack Modi as much as you can, but don’t ever raised doubts about our military and the soldiers’ bravery,” Modi further added.

He alleged that Congress insulted the armed forces by ignoring the one-rank one-pension scheme for long 40 years.

“Did they not make fun and insulted the armed forces by earmarking a mere Rs 500 crore in the budget for OROP which would have cost a total of Rs 12,500 crore. Our government has already paid Rs 6,500 crore to the soldiers as OROP benefit,” he said.
