The “kamdar” is in a fight against the “naamdar” (dynast) in Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at a poll rally in Nagaur on Wednesday, in a jibe against Congress president Rahul Gandhi.
The State goe to the polls on December 7.
Driving home the difference between himself and the Congress leader, who he has often referred to as ‘naamdar’, Mr. Modi said he was like the people and was not born with a golden spoon.
“We are not seeking votes for our grandsons or granddaughters but for your welfare and to help fulfil your dreams,” he said.
Those whose four generations have had no connect with the public cannot understand the pain of the common people. “Our only mantra is ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’, inspired by social reformist Jyotiba Phule and B.R. Ambedkar,” he said.
Mr. Modi asked people to elect the Vasundhara Raje government for another term. Water was a big problem in the desert State and the Raje government had provided irrigation facilities in a 1.5 lakh hectare area, he said.
