Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Akola as part of the BJP's campaign ahead of the assembly elections. He criticized the Congress party, claiming that it thrives when the country is weak. He said, "The weaker the country, the stronger Congress becomes, and when Congress is strong, the nation suffers." Modi accused Congress of dividing people along caste lines, especially targeting the OBC, Dalit, and tribal communities. He claimed that Congress stirs conflict among different castes to weaken unity and weaken the voice of these communities. According to Modi, Congress does not want these groups to unite, as it benefits them politically when these communities are divided. He warned that Congress plays such tricks to weaken these sections and then form a government. He urged the people to be aware of Congress's divisive tactics and stay united to protect their rights.
