"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 (National Democratic Alliance) government repeatedly.”
According to news agency ANI, PM Modi also criticised the opposition coalition, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), and highlighted its alleged involvement in corruption and financial scams. He said MVA stands “for nothing but corruption, multi-crore scams, extortion, and token money.”
Modi emphasised the importance of a prosperous Maharashtra for the overall development of India, urging voters to support Mahayuti candidates in Maharashtra Assembly Elections 2024 for a better future.
"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 the 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.
Maharashtra mandate to be like Haryana's, says PM Modi
PM Modi also referred to the recent Haryana elections where BJP formed the government for the third time.
He stated, "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."
According to ANI, Modi said that during his travels in Maharashtra, he sensed a strong desire for a government that could deliver on development promises.
“In the past 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," said PM Modi.
Earlier on Saturday, PM Modi also addressed a public rally in Maharashtra's Akola, ANI reported.
