Congress wants to install "helpless" PM, says Modi

The Congress wants to install a "helpless" prime minister, Narendra Modi said Thursday, making a forceful plea for people's mandate for a strong government, focusing on national security.

Addressing two rallies in north Karnataka on the final lap of his campaign for Lok Sabha polls in the state, Modi mocked the "never ending drama" marked by revenge and emotion that he said characterised the Congress-JDS coalition government headed by H D Kumaraswamy.

"If you want to see majboot sarkar (strong government)
Speaking about the "natak" (drama) by leaders that was going in Karnataka, he said the drama had emotion and revenge, and "the emotion is never ending."
During the then Congress' "majboor" government, Pakistan used to openly say "they are Jehadis do whatever you want and Congress' helpless government used to weep in front of the world. This was scene then."
"...Now the new scene is before you, with 2014's majboot government today we are able to kill terrorists by entering Pakistan and Pakistan is weeping in front of the world. Today we can hear only voice from Pakistan across the world crying bachao bacha bachao (help help help ), Modi Maarta hai (Modi will kill)."
Modi took on Kumaraswamy for saying the matter of airstrike on terror camps in Pakistan in Balakot should not be overpublicised "fearing the vote bank bank would get angry."
"Your vote will decidewill rashtrawad (nationalism) stay or vanshwad (dynasty), corruption, terrorism."
The language that he has used, can any self-respecting civilan accept it?
Terming Kumaraswamy's remark an insult to the Army and soldiers, and asking if it can be tolerated, he said "on this one issue this whole family has to be removed from public life."
