Ahead of the Uttrakhand Assembly Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Congress of abusing General Bipin Rawat when he was alive and using his cut-outs now for votes.

While addressing a rally in Srinagar, Uttarakhand, Modi said it was the Congress that had asked for proof of the surgical attacks against terrorists in Pakistan. The party had even called the previous Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Rawat a "streetside hooligan," he added.

Portraying the Congress as a party as a single-minded pursuit for power, the Prime Minister said that it can never comprehend the cost of "sacrifices".

Modi said that the responsibility of giving Congress a fitting reply in the coming polls for showing disrespect to General Rawat and using his name politically rests on the shoulders of the people of Uttarakhand.

Congress legislatures in the past had pushed development back and had forced individuals to migrate in enormous numbers from the hills, he further stated.

Continuing his address, he said that the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) vision document 2022 released on Wednesday will assist with making the decade that of Uttarakhand.
