Referring to the Chandrayan-2 mission, Mr. Modi said, “Those 100 seconds have connected the entire country...these few seconds have infused ISRO spirit in the country.”
Praising Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for his work, Mr. Modi said it was evident from the huge public support for the “Jan Ashirwad Yatra” of the Chief Minister, the BJP would once again be elected to power in Haryana.
‘New direction’
“The State government under the leadership of Mr. Khattar has fought against corruption and nepotism in the State and has given a new direction to the State politics by ensuring complete transparency in the system, and this was equally reciprocated by people in making BJP win all the 10 seats in the last parliamentary elections,” he said.
Mr. Khattar said that during the past 48 years, the State was dominated by fear, corruption and discrimination, besides various irregularities. “The previous governments did not create any system rather they merely played with the systems. But the present government has changed the old system and changed the politics by eliminating nepotism and regionalism,” he said.
The BJP has set a target of winning more than 75 seats in the 90-member Assembly.
