Kolhapur:
It's the second day of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's campaigning in Maharashtra for the upcoming assembly election. He is addressing election rallies in Sangli, Osmanabad, Gondia and Nashik districts today.
Here are the highlights of his speech in Gondia:
- PM Modi begins his speech with 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'
- I want to thank people of Gondia for a special reason
- I told BJP's Nanabhau (BJP's Lok Sabha candidate) to fight elections with confidence.
- My confidence was because of you. And you proved me right.
- I thought I need to come Gondia not to ask for votes but to repay a favour
- I don't understand why clock is not moving at all for NCP. They are stuck at the same thing. Do we want Vidarbha to remain like this?
- You all interact closely with the people of Chhattisgarh. Tell me why Chhattisgarh moved ahead while Maharashtra lagged behind.
- Tell me of one sector where corruption doesn't exist. Maharashtra has been looted.
- You should think Why tribals in Chhattisgarh are better off than those in Maharashtra
- Congress, NCP may be two parties but their ideals the same
- They are not rashtravadi (nationalist), they are bhrashtacharvadi (corrupt)
- Let's pledge: we will not allow Maharashtra to be looted any further
- After Uttar Pradesh, maximum number of communal riots took place in Maharashtra
- The country's agriculture minister was sitting in Delhi while more than 3000 farmers committed suicide. They have no remorse
- Do you get electricity? No. These people ran the government for 60 years and they ask us. Yes, we are ready to give answers to people.
- Our high command is the people.
- Congress asks me what have we done since coming to power. Within 15 days, I've started work on Sardar Sarovar Dam.
- Congress, NCP don't care about people, but about their pockets
- I have started 'Make in India', I know our youth can produce better goods that can conquer the market
