Hitting out at Congress, PM Modi said that the National Democratic Alliance government worked more for development in 10 years than what Congress did in 60 years.

"You gave me a responsibility and I am fulfilling that responsibility with utmost sincerity. And with same honesty, I am giving my report card to the people. Today, the world is watching that Modi, in his 10 years, has done more development than 60 years of Congress," he said.

He also said, "NDA govt understands pain of poor and weaker sections, accords top priority to them," adding, "I am a 'chowkidar' for weaker sections of society, will always fight for their rights."

Modi said unlike his opponents, who were concerned about promoting their offspring, “I have no ‘waaris’ (successor). The common people are my waaris”.

He reiterated the charge that parties like the Congress and RJD, which “allowed extortion and kidnapping to flourish” while in power, will “give away reservations” to Muslims “to pursue their vote bank politics”, but added that “as long as I am alive, I will not let this happen”.

“Kidnapping and extortion flourished during the RJD rule in Bihar... NDA fights for social justice, 60 per cent Union ministers from OBC/SC/ST categories,” he asserted.

The prime minister also accused the opposition parties of “deliberately hurting people’s sentiments by making obnoxious statements about the Ram temple in Ayodhya”.

Speaking on a day when the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections were underway, he urged the people to turn out in large numbers and vote for the NDA to enable formation of a strong government.

In his speech, Modi also touched upon his government’s track record on development, citing construction of highways at a rapid rate and underscoring commitment to social justice and empowerment, while accusing the opposition of trying to put hurdles in the way of measures like women’s reservations.
