Pune (Maharashtra) [India], November 12 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday continued his attack on the Congress in poll-bound Maharashtra, alleging that the party is “looting people” in Karnataka and the money is allegedly being used to fight polls.
Addressing a rally here, PM Modi spoke of the development works being done by the “double-engine” government in Maharashtra and Pune and said that the “middle-class” has always been a priority for the BJP.
He said Congress should be kept away “to save Maharashtra”.
“In Karnataka, Congress lied and urged people to vote for them. They formed govt and were unable to fulfil their promises. Instead, they are running an extortion campaign in Karnataka. In Karnataka, scams are being unearthed every other day. It means that the Congress is looting people in broad daylight. Allegedly, Congress is using the same money to fight elections in Maharashtra. If we want to save Maharashtra, we need to keep Congress at bay,” he said.
“To empower the people of Pune, infrastructure, investment and industry – all three are required. We have worked on every aspect of it. In the last 10 years, the FDI has increased exponentially. Maharashtra is at the top of the list of investment companies that have been visiting India for investment in the last 2.5 years. Pune and this region will get a huge share of this investment. The number of companies increased when the investment was made in the electronics and IT sectors,” he added.
PM Modi said that the relationship between Pune and BJP is of “ideology, culture and faith”.
“Pune has always supported the ideology and vision of the BJP. I am deeply grateful to the people of Pune for this trust. I have come to assure you that the new Mahayuti government will work faster for the development of Pune and Maharashtra. The coming five years will be the years of new flights of development for Pune,” he said.
He expressed confidence of ruling Mahayuti defeating the Maha Vikas Aghadi in the polls.
PM Modi addressed three rallies in Maharashtra on Tuesday. Apart from Pune, he addressed rallies at Chimur and Solapur. Polling in Maharashtra for 288 assembly seats will be held on November 20 and votes will be counted on November 23. (ANI)
