Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) on Friday, promising to safeguard the rights of the SC, ST, and OBC populations under his direction. The MVA was accused of attempting to "divide and manipulate" reservation regulations for political purposes.
In a spirited address at a campaign rally for BJP candidate Dr. Heena Gavit in Nandurbar, a tribal-dominated region, PM Modi reaffirmed his dedication, stating, "No matter how much effort they make, no matter how many lies they spread with anti-national forces, you have Modi's trust and Modi's guarantee. As long as Modi is alive, no one can touch the reservations for SC, ST, OBC. 'Vanchiton Ka Jo Adhikaar Hai, Modi Unka Chaukidaar Hai'," he declared.
Taking aim at the Congress party, PM Modi criticized recent remarks made by senior leader Sam Pitroda, asserting, "One of Shehzada's gurus living in America has made an extremely unfortunate and racist remark on Indians... Those having complexion like that of Lord Krishna are considered 'African' by the Congress party. That's why they didn't want to accept Droupadi Murmu as the President of the country."
Highlighting his humble background compared to the Congress' royal lineage, PM Modi empathized with the struggles of the people, stating, "I am not from a royal family like the Congress. I have grown up in poverty. I know how much you have suffered here."
In a veiled reference to Sharad Pawar, PM Modi criticized a veteran Maharashtra leader's recent statements following the Baramati elections, suggesting a merger of smaller parties with the Congress. He urged voters to choose development over political alliances, emphasizing, "A veteran leader of Maharashtra, who has been in politics for 40-50 years, has given a statement after the Baramati elections. They have become so frustrated and disappointed that they feel that if they want to survive in politics after June 4, then small political parties should merge with the Congress. This means that fake NCP and fake Shiv Sena have decided to merge with Congress.
"I would say that supporting us and winning is better than supporting Congress and losing after June 4. Your vote on May 13 will answer Congress and INDIA. Support us, and help Maharashtra embrace development," he appealed to the voters.
