Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday highlighted the contrast between ‘weak’ Congress governments and the ‘strong’ BJP-led government in terms of border infrastructure and national security.

Modi emphasized the proactive approach of the current government, stating, “Terrorists ko ghar mein ghus ke maara (terrorists were eliminated in their own homes).”

After seven decades, Article 370 was scrapped from Jammu and Kashmir and a law was made against triple talaq. It was our strong government which ensured 33 per cent reservation in Parliament and the poor of the general category also got 10 per cent reservation,” the PM said.
