Launching a scathing attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that the former holds meetings everyday to churn out strategies to spread lies and mislead the voters.
"Congress doesn't even know the magnitude of the tribal people who stay in the nation. They never thought of working for them. Those against us are short of issues to criticize us. They wonder what to say, because we are devoted to serving the people. Congress holds a meeting every evening and thinks about what lies to spread, how to mislead the voters," he said while addressing a rally in Dumka.
The Prime Minister further accused the previous governments of looting the people of Jharkhand and urged them to vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to ensure development in the state.
"It is the development of the tribal communities that will lead to the development of the nation. Jharkhand has so much coal that you can remove darkness from all of India. If the previous governments did not work for the welfare of the people, what were they doing? They were looting you all," he said.
"Do not give another chance to the people who have wronged you. If you do they will only wrong you more, punish them and they might get a lesson. Jharkhand is 14 years old now, when one is 14 years old care for them is intensified and this election will lay the foundation for Jharkhand for the next 100 years," he added.
The Election Commission earlier on Sunday said that fourth phase of the five-phase assembly elections in Jharkhand saw a voter turnout of 61.65 percent, adding that the elections took place peacefully without any untoward incident.
The final phase of the state assembly polls will take place on December 20, with the counting of the votes scheduled to take place on December 23.
