Stinging at the Maha Vikas Aghadi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused it of "riding in a vehicle with no wheels or brakes" and its components fighting each other to drive it.
Terming the MVA as the most unstable vehicle, the Prime Minister claimed that the Maha Yuti on the other hand is in a position to provide a stable government for the next five years with a sole goal of development.
He further added that only a stable government can make long-term policies.
"You have to remember the vehicle these Maha Aghadi people are traveling in is a vehicle which has neither wheels nor brakes and there is a fight as to who will drive it. Aghadi is the most unstable vehicle, these people waste their time fighting among themselves.". Maharashtra requires a MahaYuti government in the next five years which is stable and whose sole aim is the development of Maharashtra. Only a stable government will be able to make long-term policies for Maharashtra," said PM Modi at the poll rally for the BJP and MahaYuti nominees in Solapur.
Right now, there is a stampede in Aghadi. What is happening is that there is a tug-of-war for the Chief Minister's post in Aghadi, ". "One party is busy the whole day declaring its leader as the Chief Minister. The other parties and Congress are busy rejecting it. Such parties can never form a stable government in Maharashtra," said the Prime Minister.
He targeted Congress saying that though the grand old party ruled the country for decades its thinking is to maintain the problems and keep people entangled in such problems.
"For decades, the country has been ruled by Parliament but the issues at the grass-root level have not been addressed. And they kept people busy by giving them a number of problems to think about, which has become their typical work culture, he further mentioned. As a result of this policy, the farmers of Maharashtra have suffered for many years.".
According to him, the region failed on the part of Congress and its allies in solving irrigation problems. "In contrast, we have focused on solving these problems. Thanks to our efforts, the water table in several villages of Solapur is now rising," he said.
He also claimed that Congress wishes to take away the rights given to the poor and deprived people of the country.
'With 'prince gone abroad', and has openly spoken of ending the reservation, Congress's desire to end the reservation is nothing new. There was a time when Congress used to openly give big advertisements in newspapers against the reservation. Today, is the age of the internet now those anti-reservation statements of Congress are available on the internet and social media," he said.
He told the people gathered at the rally that Congress is troubled by MahaYuti's unity which is why they want to make one caste fight against the other caste.
"Will you allow this conspiracy of Congress to succeed? We have to remain united to foil the dangerous plans of Congress. Therefore my request to you is – if we are united, we are safe," said the Prime Minister.
He said if the MahaYuti government, which believes in the "faith" and "culture" of Maharashtra, works then, people have seen what kind of results come.
"The people of Solapur had been demanding development for decades, the projects that were pending for decades, have been completed by the MahaYuti government," PM Modi claimed.
According to him, the MahaYuti government waived off the electricity bills of farmers. This is the effort of the government. Farmers do not need to pay electricity bills. "That is why we are engaged in providing solar energy to every farm," he said.
The prime minister said that during the time of the Congress government, the percentage of ethanol blended into petrol was only 2 to 3 per cent, and added that once the BJP came into power in 2014, the government had decided to enhance the blending.
"It has gone up to 15 per cent now. I am aiming for ethanol-blending of 20 percent. The farmers have got Rs 80,000 crore through ethanol and the sugarcane farmers were the largest beneficiaries of it," he said.
The Prime Minister further declared that the government is working while keeping at the center of all public welfare schemes the women.
Today, houses are being constructed under the PM Awas Yojana in the names of women. The biggest beneficiaries of the Mudra Scheme are our mothers and sisters. We are working on a mission to make three crore sisters Lakhpati Didi, he said.
This has been because of the work that the BJP is doing in Centre and MahaYuti government here in Maharashtra, said Prime Minister.
"Today we are moving towards building a developed India from a developed Maharashtra. That's why I say: 'BJP-MahaYuti ahe, tar gati ahe. Maharashtrachi pragati ahe,'" said Prime Minister.
