Prime Minister Narendra Modi professed his love for Haryana at a rally in Charkhi Dadri ahead of the Haryana Assembly Elections. "I don't come to Haryana for election rallies. I don't campaign for BJP in Haryana, I don't ask for votes in Haryana. Haryana itself calls me. I can't stop myself from coming here. You have given me so much love," he said. https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1184015673019785216 Exhorting the gathering to treat daughters with love and respect, he said, "We will have two types of Diwali this time. A 'Diya' (earthen lamp) Diwali, and a 'kamal' (lotus) Diwali. We should dedicate this Diwali to our daughters and celebrate their achievements." https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1184011600749051910 The Prime Minister also commended people for their active participation in the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign. "Had the villages of Haryana not stepped forward then, Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao would not have been so widespread, effective and fruitful. Every person in Haryana says, 'Mhari chhoriyaan chhoron se kam hain ke?'" He quipped.
