Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that there is a wave in favour of Mahayuti and the Bharatiya Janata Party across Maharashtra for the assembly polls.
Addressing a public meeting here, he attacked the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi, saying it stands "for nothing but corruption, multi-crore scams, extortion, and token money". "Today, there is a wave in favour of Mahayuti and BJP in the entire Maharashtra. Today, the country is moving forward with the aim of 'Viksit Bharat' and the people of the country know that BJP and its allies are seriously working for it. This is the reason the public is electing BJP and the NDA govt repeatedly," he said. "Only when Maharashtra prospers can India truly develop! For that to happen, we must ensure that every family in Maharashtra flourishes. The central government and Mahayuti Alliance are working tirelessly to turn your dreams into reality. By electing Mahayuti candidates with a landslide victory, you'll secure a brighter future for yourself and your loved ones," he added. PM Modi also referred to the recent Haryana elections where BJP formed the government for the third time. "Today, I am doing double duty. Firstly, I am asking for help for Modi and secondly for the bright future of Maharashtra. In the Haryana elections, BJP got its highest number of its seats. Now the people of Maharashtra are also going to repeat this history," he said. PM Modi also took a dig at Congress. "In the last two days, wherever I went in Maharashtra, everyone had this thought in their mind that whatever was lacking in the Lok Sabha, this time it had to be fulfilled vigorously in the Vidhan Sabha. People are saying that for a developed Maharashtra, Mahayuti's government is needed. Maharashtra has suffered the wrath of the Congress and its sins for a long time," PM Modi added. Earlier in the day, PM Modi also addressed a public rally in Maharashtra's Akola. The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies set for November 23. In the 2019 assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, the Shiv Sena 56, and the Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP secured 122 seats, the Shiv Sena 63, and the Congress 42. (ANI)
