NEW DELHI: On the last day of campaigning for Haryana polls on Thursday, PM Narendra Modi said Congress stood for the "guarantee of corruption , casteism, communalism and nepotism" and urged people of the state to vote for BJP for a third straight win.

"Congress means a syndicate of fixers and sons-in-law," he said in an apparent reference to controversial land deals involving Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra when the party was in office during 2004-14 with Bhupinder Singh Hooda as CM.

"The main goal of father-son politics is self-interest," he said, targeting Hooda and his MP son Deepender Singh Hooda. Modi also said Congress leaders were involved in a factional fight. "People know that the party can never provide a stable govt," he added.

"People of Haryana are feeling hurt as entire state is being insulted at the behest of two families sitting in Delhi and Haryana," Modi said. Stating that people were witnessing failure of Congress govts in Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka, he said, "Congress's policies destroy people and that is why they do not want the party in Haryana at all."

Congress netas, Modi said, had bared their intentions by speaking in favour of ending reservation when Dalits and backward classes are angry with the party for its inability to prevent caste violence.

"People have made up their minds to punish the party once more. BJP in its 10 years of govt in Haryana worked relentlessly to improve people's lives and prioritised the welfare of every section of society, be it farmers, youth, women, villages or cities," he added.
