Narendra Modi Takes Swipe at Congress: ‘Not Contesting Even Minimum Seats…

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stepped up his criticism of NCP-SP leader Sharad Pawar for the predicament of sugarcane farmers. In addition, he launched an assault on Congress, pleading with the people not to support a party that is not even running for the number of seats needed to form a government at the Center. At a Maharashtra rally, Prime Minister Modi remarked, “Farmers used to make rounds of sugarcane commissions for their arrears when a big Maharashtra leader was Union agriculture minister.” PM Modi also made fun of Sushil Kumar Shinde, a former minister and Congressman. He mentioned that fifteen years prior, a prominent figure had sworn to supply water to the regions of Maharashtra that were experiencing drought. The moment has come, he continued, to punish the leader for breaking the agreement.

A very important leader came to our place fifteen years ago to run for office. After that, he swore to supply water to this area’s drought-affected areas. But now that he has broken his word, it is time to punish him, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated. Praniti Shinde, the daughter of Sushil Kumar Shinde, is the Solapur-based Congress contender. Congress, according to PM Modi, is to blame for the public’s need for every drop of water.

“This sin of having people long for every drop of water has been going on for years, whether it is in Vidarbha or Marathwada. The nation granted Congress a 60-year term in power. Many nations have undergone significant transformation in the past 60 years, yet Congress has been unable to supply water for farmers’ fields. About 100 irrigation projects, 26 of which were in Maharashtra, had been stalled for decades in 2014. “Consider what a huge betrayal Congress has committed against Maharashtra,” he continued. PM Modi urged the people not to support a party “that is not contesting even the minimum number of seats needed for a simple majority in the Lok Sabha” during the Malshiras rally on Tuesday.

What PM Modi had said

PM Modi referred to Sharad Pawar as a “wandering soul” earlier this week. Maharashtra is home to a roaming soul known as ‘bhatakti atma’. It ruins the hard work of others if it is unable to handle success. Modi had stated at a rally on Monday that Maharashtra had been a victim of it. “The same leader launched this game forty-five years ago. Maharashtra has always been an unstable state, but that was only because of his personal ambition. Several chief ministers were unable to serve out their entire terms as a result,” Modi had stated.
