In a strong statement during an election rally in Akola, Maharashtra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a fierce attack on the Congress party, accusing it of exploiting states under its governance as financial resources. Addressing a gathering ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Modi said, “The Congress turns any state it governs into the ATM (Automated Teller Machine) of its ‘shahi parivar’ (royal family).” We won’t let Maharashtra become the ATM of the Congress.”
Modi criticized Congress for neglecting Ambedkar’s legacy, challenging them to prove their commitment by visiting key memorial sites.
Modi emphasized the importance of unity, referencing Haryana’s collective efforts to resist Congress’s alleged divisive tactics. He invoked the slogan “Ek hai to safe hai” (We are safe if united) as a reminder of the state’s resilience against Congress’s policies.
Modi criticized the MVA alliance, highlighted achievements, and thanked Maharashtra for support, focusing on unity and development.
