Rewari (Haryana): Seeking to boost BJP’s prospects in the Ahirwal belt where the party did well in the last assembly polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday held a rally here and spoke in detail about his government’s efforts to boost national security.
Modi’s rally in Rewari, held on the last day of campaigning, was part of three rallies added to his original schedule to boost the party’s prospects, sources said .
BJP had performed strongly in the 11 seats of Ahirwal belt in 2014 assembly polls and won all the seats. The area was not seen as a BJP stronghold till 2014.
The eleven seats, which are spread over three districts, are – Pataudi, Badshahpur, Gurugram, Sohna, Bawal, Kosli, Rewari, Mahendragarh, Barnaul, Nangal Choudhary and Ateli.
Rewari holds special significance for Modi as he addressed his first rally here after being declared BJP’s prime ministerial candidate in 2013. On Saturday, he urged voters to vote for the party to provide a clean government.
“Who will become MLA and who will not…our aim is to get a clean government. It is the Congress culture where for a person, they break the party. We do not belong to this culture. In every booth, there should be record voting. And you have to break the record of the last Lok Sabha elections,” he said.
