I want to create a skillHaryana. You have to decided if you want a scam Haryana or a skill Haryana,” he said addressing a rally here on Wednesday.
Asking people to elect a BJP government that could lead the state on the path of speedy development, Modi lamented that in the last 25 yearsHaryana has not developed due to dynastic politics and questioned if the past elections or governments were run democratically.
