Taking a jibe at UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, Modi said youth of the country never received jobs, but "jijaji" (brother-in-law) received it.
"During the last Lok Sabha elections the mother and son government had promised jobs to 10 crore youth but they failed to do so. They cheated (the youth of) the country as well as Chhattisgarh," Modi said, addressing a rally in Bilaspur district headquarters of Chhattisgarh.
It is clear that the Congress would not be able to even open its account in many states during this general election, while it would also fail to touch the double digit mark in any state, he said.
Without naming Congress leader Digvijay Singh, Modi said that under him, MP was known as a sick state or a "Bimaru" (sick) state.
He questioned why Jalgaon's cotton growers keep going to Gujarat to sell their cotton.
