Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting three states today-- Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. PM Modi addressed a public meeting in Wardha to campaign for the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance candidates in Vidarbha region. In Wardha, PM Modi targeted NCP chief Sharad Pawar, saying there was infighting in his party, which was slipping from his control. PM Modi alleged Mr Pawar decided not to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls after realising that the situation was not in his favour. The Vidarbha region reports a huge number of farmer suicides and agrarian distress coupled with rural discontent that is a cause of worry for the BJP. PM Modi will then head to Andhra Pradesh's Rajahmundry for another rally. PM Modi will also address a public meeting of the BJP in Hyderabad later in the evening. This will be PM Modi's second visit to Telangana in four days. He launched the party's campaign by addressing a rally in Mahabubnagar on March 29. The BJP is making elaborate arrangements for the meeting in Hyderabad as it will supplement the party's campaign for four Lok Sabha constituencies.
Here are the highlights from PM Modi's rallies in Maharashtra, Andhra and Telangana:
- For the middle class, government has tried to bring relief to middle class, whether it is in education, rising costs
- Earlier governments weren't bothered. Yojanas weren't even visible during earlier regimes
- Congress could not contain rising prices
- This government has tried to give education loans, home loans and EMIs
- EMIs have gone down during this regime
- Zero tax benefits will finish if opposition comes to power
- On April 11, if "Mahamilavat" (PM Modi's term for the opposition "Mahagathbandhan") gets a chance in elections, they will take it away
- When army asked for bullet proof jackets, they had said we have no money.
- "My duty to keep interests of the middle class in mind and to work towards your dreams": PM Modi in Secunderabad
- I am told that the TDP has now started a new work. This is related to cyber-crime. The Seva Mitra app that he (Chandrababu Naidu) talks about, that isn't about either service or friends. The truth is they are stealing the data of the people related to the app
- These Mahamilavatis are working to help settle their family and relatives. They don't care about the country or the people of Andhra Pradesh, may it be TDP, or Jagan Reddy's YSRCP or Congress-- this is their vision of the future too

- The NCP-Congress alliance in Maharashtra is like Kumbhkaran. When they are in power, they take turns to sleep for 6 months
- Don't forget when a Maharashtra farmer went to Ajit Pawar to question him about his grievances, he was humiliated. Sharad Pawar was a farmer himself, but today he has forgotten farmers
- The Congress-NCP alliance looted farmers in the state. They were involved in an irrigation scam. The drought in Vidarbha is because of Congress
- The mahamilavat of Congress and NCP has been insulting our brave soldiers and their sacrifices. When our brave soldiers crossed the border and killed terrorists in their own houses, they started asking for evidence
- Do you want the heroes of India or the people who want to be heroes in Pakistan? Do you want proof, or do you want to take pride that your soldiers are so brave?
- Firstly I congratulate the country's space scientists for another achievement that ISRO has achieved a while ago
- Congress has been disrespecting the chowkidars who are working towards the Swachchta mission. Two days ago, a senior Congress leader said that Modi has only been a toilet guard
- I want to tell Congress: You may try to demean by saying that I have been a chowkidar of toilets, but I would take it as a compliment since it also means that I am guarding so many women and girls of the country
- There was a time when Sharad Pawar ji used to think that he could become the Prime Minister. But then one fine day, he decided "I am happy to be here in the Rajya Sabha; I will not contest elections". He also knows which direction the wind blows
- There is an attempt to retire most NCP senior leaders. But the NCP should now get a reality check
- The Nationalist Congress Party is facing a tough time, even in terms of ticket distribution. They don't know where to contest
- Today Pawar sahab has been bowled by people. His false promises have been exposed and he has been hit-wicket by his nephew
