PM Modi's message to the people of Delhi hours before his mega rally in Ramlila Maidan

PM Modi begins his address at a packed Ramlila Maidan, speaks about his experience living in the capital city for the last five years.

"It is because of your support that a New India is rising. In the last five years, difficult choices were made. You helped me in this".

"If today the Lal Batti culture has come to an end, it is because of you."

"If the government has been made available to you over your mobile phones, it is because of you."

"Earlier it used to take many days to open a business, now it only takes 24 hours"

"GST has been designed in such a way so as to end Inspector Raj"

"When decisions are taken with the right intentions it reflects in the results"

"Today, even the Opposition isn't able to complain about inflation"

One big challenge for Delhi is pollution, says PM Modi. 

"Metros, electric mobility, solar innovations and next-gen infrastructure are going to benefit the people of Delhi. Remember how earlier, to travel to neighbouring states one had to go through Delhi. Now, after the Eastern Peripheral Highway and Western Peripheral Highway, there is no need for this. Hence, traffic has reduced, and so has pollution."

"Delhi is the only city that has seen a fifth model of governance - 'nakaampanti' - meaning those who say no to everything done for Delhi's benefit and also aren't able to do anything towards development themselves."

He said with the blessings of the people, the BJP-led NDA formed the government in 2014 and in the past five years, India's stature has increased in the world.

"Now, the situation is quite clear, with the blessings of countrymen, when results will be out by May 23 evening, it will once again be 'Phir ek Bar (Modi government again)'," the prime minister said in a rally in Haryana's Fatehabad.

The Congress and their 'mahamilavati' allies have given up the fight, and their intention to form a 'kichdi aur majboor sarkar' in Delhi has fallen flat", Modi said.

He alleged that the Congress has done 'brashtachar ki kheti'  and the proof is in Haryana and elsewhere.

Ten Lok Sabha seats of Haryana go to polls in the sixth phase on May 12.
