Rajasthan – Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a public gathering in Barmer, Rajasthan, raised serious concerns over the election manifestos of the opposition parties, particularly focusing on national security issues.
PM Modi highlighted that the Congress party’s manifesto appears to be influenced by the Muslim League, a party he holds responsible for the partition of India. He voiced his worries about the potential repercussions this association could have on the nation’s unity.
Moreover, the Prime Minister criticized another party, a member of the INDI alliance, for a statement in their manifesto that he labeled as ‘dangerous’ for the nation’s security. This party, which he did not identify, has reportedly pledged to eliminate India’s nuclear weapons.
In a region where India shares borders with two nuclear-armed nations, PM Modi questioned the wisdom of such a move. “When two of our neighbours are armed with nuclear weapons, should our nuclear weapons be destroyed?” he asked the crowd, further questioning, “What kind of an alliance is this which wants to make India powerless?”
These remarks from the Prime Minister come amidst rising regional tensions and ongoing debates on national security. His statements are likely to fuel further discussions on India’s defense strategy, especially the role of nuclear weapons, and the impact of election manifestos on national policy.
As the election fervor heats up, the rally in Barmer is a significant part of PM Modi’s campaign trail. With national security and the implications of party manifestos emerging as key issues, the political scenario is set to become more intense in the days to come.
