Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said India developed strong relations with Islamic nations like Saudi Arabia after he assumed office in 2014.
Addressing an election rally after leading a road show here on the penultimate day of campaigning for the second phase voting on December 5, he also slammed the Congress and claimed the opposition party and its governments splurged taxpayers’ money on “family, relatives, and for their personal use”.
“After 2014, India has developed strong relations with Islamic nations. It is a matter of pride for me as well as for every Gujarati that nations like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have conferred their top awards to me. Yoga is now part of the official syllabus in Saudi Arabia,” said PM Modi.
Hindu temples are also coming up in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi, the prime minister told the gathering.
Unlike the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which puts nation first, the Congress has always given priority to just one family, said the PM.
