State Election 2022: ‘Give me five years’, says PM Modi at Pathankot rally

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday targeted the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), calling it a photocopy of the Congress.

Addressing an election rally in Punjab’s Pathankot, he said agriculture, trade and industry would be made profitable in five years if the BJP-led coalition comes to power in the state.

Polling in Punjab is to be held on February 20.

“Give me five years to serve you. I assure you that farming, trade, industry will be made profitable,” Modi said at an election rally in Pathankot.

Attacking political rivals, he said, “We look at Punjab from the point of view of Punjabiyat, which is our priority. Rivals see Punjab only through political prism.”

He invoked Sant Ravidas and said that his government is running on his ideals, and the welfare of the poor is above all for it.

On the occasion of Prime Minister Ravidas Jayanti, after offering prayers at ‘Shri Guru Ravidas Vishram Dham Mandir’ in Karol Bagh, Delhi, he arrived to attend the rally.

“Today is Sant Ravidas Jayanti. Before coming here, I went to Guru Ravidas Vishram Mandir (in Delhi) and took blessings,” he said.
