In his address, PM Modi highlighted the support of Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and Dalits for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), asserting that the recent electoral success of the BJP in Haryana signifies the prevailing sentiment across the nation. He remarked, "The results from Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir show the mood of the nation. The Congress's ecosystem of urban Naxals has attempted to mislead the public."
PM Modi pointed out that Dalits have come to realise that Congress might undermine their reservation policies to cater to its vote bank. He criticized the party's approach to farmers, saying, "Farmers in Haryana know who provided them with the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and they are satisfied with the BJP's support. The Congress has tried everything, but the people of Haryana have shown that they will not be swayed by the party's tactics or the urban naxal groups."
