"They spread such things against Modi, which divide the society. When a party gets trapped in the vicious circle of nepotism and dynasty politics, the same thing happens to it. Today everyone is leaving Congress, only one family is seen there," said the PM.
Rajasthan, which till 2023 elections was ruled by theCongress, voted in favour of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
PM Modi expressed gratitude to voters in Rajasthan for this and thanked people of the state for giving a grand welcome to French President Emmanuel Macron, who visited India recently.
While talking about what the new state government under BJP, did after coming to power, he said, "During the regime of the previous government in Rajasthan, there used to be frequent paper leaks, and youth used to get affected by this. To investigate this, an Special Investigation Team was formed as soon as the BJP came to power. The Central Government has formed a stringent law against those who indulge in paper leaks..."
"Several people from every Assembly of Rajasthan have joined this important program, I congratulate all of you... A few days ago, the grand welcome you gave to the President of France in Jaipur echoed throughout India and France...," the PM added.
