The Daily Guardian|March 19, 2024
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s “fight against Shakti” drew a strong retort from Prime Minister Narendra Modi who said every mother and daughter was a form of “Shakti” for him and that he will sacrifice his life for their security.
SLUGFEST OVER 'SHAKTI' REMARK : Modi says Mother India attacked

Addressing poll rallies in Telangana and Karnataka, the Prime Minister also said the upcoming Lok Sabha elections will be a fight between destroyers and worshippers of ‘Shakti’.

In his first rally in Jagtial in Nizamabad in Telangana after the announcement of the Lok Sabha polls schedule, Modi said the nation dedicated the success of Chandrayaan-3 last year to ‘Shiv Shakti’ but the Opposition parties are talking about destroying “Shakti”.

“On Sunday in Mumbai, there was an INDI alliance rally after the announcement of the schedule for elections. They announced their manifesto at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, and said their fight was against ‘Shakti’. For me, every mother and every daughter is a form of ‘Shakti’. Mothers and sisters, I worship you as ‘Shakti’. I am Bharat Maa’s ‘pujari’,” he asserted.

“INDI alliance in its manifesto announced to finish, destroy Shakti. I accept their challenge. I will sacrifice my life for the security of mothers and sisters.”
