Addressing a rally in Koppal district of Karnataka, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday termed the ongoing Lok Sabha polls as ‘Rashtravad (nationalism) vs Parivarvad (dynastic politics)’ and ‘nation first vs family first’.
“The 2019 election is between nationalism and dynasty politics, country first and family first,” PM Modi said.
2019 is an election between the nationalism and dynasty.
Both the parties, Congress and JDS, are detached from people and attached to their own family.

He also said that it is necessary to teach a lesson to those who are advancing Pakistan’s propaganda just to harm him and seeking evidence of airstrike by the brave forces just for the sake of few votes.
He termed Janata Dal (Secular) and Congress as symbols of dynastic politics and cut off from the public.
“Both these parties are close to the ‘family’ and equally distant from the people. They don’t care about your and the country’s requirements. All they care for is their own and family’s needs. Their only mission is ‘commission (bribery)’,” he said.
कर्नाटक में परिवारवाद के प्रतीक हैं कांग्रेस और JDS।
दोनों ही पार्टियां जनता से जितनी कटी हुई हैं, उतनी ही अपने परिवार से जुड़ी हुई।
इनके लिए आपकी आवश्यकताएं नहीं, देश की जरूरतें नहीं, बल्कि अपना स्वार्थ महत्वपूर्ण है।
कमीशन ही इनका मिशन है: : पीएम मोदी #ModiHiAayega

“This is the reason why there is a scam in every defence deal they concluded. This is the reason why they kept providing low-quality weapons to our forces. This is the reason why our soldiers are not given adequate facilities. This is the reason why they did not provide bullet-proof jackets to our jawans,” he said.
Apart from Karnataka, PM Modi also held rallies in Maharashtra and Kerala on Friday. Polling in Karnataka is scheduled to be conducted in two phases on April 18 and April 23. The results will be announced on May 23.
