Modi addresses voters of C'garh, MP, Mizoram

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday addressed rallies in the poll-bound state of Madhya Pradesh, visited famous pilgrimage sites in Chhattisgarh, and released a video message for the people of Mizoram seeking their support and blessings to make their homeland “marvellous”.

Modi addresses voters of C'garh, MP, Mizoram

Addressing public meetings at Seoni and Khandwa for the November 17 elections in Madhya Pradesh, Modi attacked the Congress over “infighting” between two of its senior leaders for “establishing their sons and capturing the party organisation in the state”.

The Congress is desperate to form a government in MP and wanted to make the state its ATM for Lok Sabha elections to loot money, Modi said.

“They want to loot the state’s money and send it by tractors (to Delhi). I am confident that the BJP will form the government for the third time in 2024. To fulfil your dream a government (of BJP) in the state and the one at the Centre will work with double speed,” he said.

Accusing the Congress of ruining states where it forms governments, the PM said, “They indulge in infighting and have no time for the people. This is the culture of Congress, where infighting continues. And their judge sitting in Delhi adjudicates and runs the shop.”

“In a state where Congress government is formed even by mistake, there is a fierce competition to loot — whether the CM or the deputy CM will loot more. You are seeing it in Karnataka. Congress has been out of power at the Centre for 10 years, hence it looks at every state with greedy eyes to enjoy the wealth whenever it gets an opportunity,” he said, days after Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah said he will complete the full five-year term at the post, triggering speculation about DK Shivakumar’s role in the government.
