“The credit for this huge victory goes to PM Modi who has made such policies and schemes in the last 10 years that have benefitted the poor, farmers, youth, and women.

Addressing party workers in Delhi after BJP victory in Haryana polls, PM Modi alleged that Congress has tried to mislead the people of the country.
“Whether it is the Election Commission of the country, the police, the judiciary, the Congress wants to tarnish every institution. You will remember the kind of ruckus they created before the results of the Lok Sabha elections. During the elections too, these people and their urban Naxalite allies had gone to the Supreme Court to tarnish the image of the Election Commission. Today also they have done the same. Congress has tried to mislead the people of the country. Congress always tries to question the impartiality of our institutions, and tries to tarnish their reputation. This has been the habit of Congress. Congress has been doing such things shamelessly,” he said.
