Article 370 history now, no chaos: Modi

Says Congress is only trying to divide, spread lawlessness and instability across the country

Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasised that the BJP stands firm against such deceitful practices and remains committed to serving the nation with honesty and integrity.

Addressing his second election rally in Sabarkantha, Modi highlighted the progress made in the region and reiterated his commitment to serve the nation with dedication and integrity.

At the rally, Modi reminisced about the timeless bond between him and the people of Sabarkantha, emphasising that despite the changes over the decades, the love and familiarity remain steadfast. He said, “If your love hasn’t changed, how can Modi change?”

Listing out the achievements, Modi highlighted the decisive steps taken by his government, including the historic decision to abrogate Article 370. “The Congress tried to scare the country that if Article 370 is removed, there will be chaos. Article 370 is history now and there is no chaos in the country. The Tricolour is flying high at Lal Chowk in Srinagar,” he said. Modi also talked about issues such as terrorism, triple talaq, CAA etc and emphasised his government’s commitment to national security and social justice. He criticised the Congress for its divisive politics and highlighted the role of the Opposition party during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Modi said, “The situation of the Congress, which ruled for 60 years, is very worrying. They are openly trying to divide the country. The only strategy of Congress and its I.N.D.I.A. bloc is to spread lawlessness and instability in the country. They want to set the country on fire, no matter what, to defame Modi.”

“They did the same during the biggest disaster in the country, the Covid-19 pandemic. Their Covid mission failed and their vaccination mission failed, so they tried to set the country on fire. When we brought the CAA law, they tried to set the country on fire again,” he said.

The Prime Minister is scheduled to campaign for the BJP candidates in Odisha’s Berhampur and Nabarangpur Lok Sabha constituencies on May 6. Modi will address his first public meeting at 10 am in Berhampur. while the Nabarangpur rally will be held at about 12.30 am on Monday. Berhampur and Nabarangpur go to the polls on May 13. The Lok Sabha and Assembly elections will be held simultaneously in Odisha.
