On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Mumbai is a city of “self-respect”. PM Modi on November 14 ridiculed Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for “handing over the remote control” of his party to the Congress and dared him to get the “shehzada of Congress” to praise Balasaheb Thackeray.
Addressing his last rally for the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections in Shivaji Park in Mumbai, PM Modi said that the entire state is blessing BJP-led Mahayuti. PM Modi said, “This is my last public meeting in Maharashtra for this election. I have visited the entire Maharashtra during this time. The blessings of the entire Maharashtra are with Mahayuti”.
He said there is a party in the Aghadi that has handed over its “remote control” to Congress, which insulted Balasaheb. PM Modi added, “Mumbai is a city of self-respect, but a party in Maha Vikas Aghadi has handed over its ‘remote control’ to those who insulted Balasaheb Thackeray”.
He added, “That is why I challenged them to get the Congress to praise Balasaheb Thackeray. To date, these people have not been able to get the Congress and the ‘shehzada’ of Congress to praise Balasaheb”. PM Modi said that the “shaahi parivaar” will snatch away reservations if Congress comes to power in Maharashtra.
“Mumbai is a city that believes in connecting people. Unfortunately, the Congress and the Maha Aghadi seem focused on dividing them instead. People from all communities live in harmony in Mumbai, but the Maha Aghadi is busy inciting tensions between different castes. The Congress’s Shahi parivaar harbours animosity towards Dalits, backward classes, and Scheduled Tribes (STs). They seem desperate for power, much like a fish out of water”, said PM Modi.
He further added, “The character of Mumbai is honesty and hard work. The character of Mumbai is the urge to move ahead. But the character of Congress is corruption”. The Prime Minister alleged that the leaders of Maha Vikas Aghadi have become slaves to appeasement.
“The leaders of Maha Vikas Aghadi opposed the construction of Ram Temple. For the sake of votes, they used the words like ‘Bhagwa aatankwad’. They disrespect Veer Savarkar. They passed a resolution in J-K for the restoration of Article 370…Maha Vikas Aghadi always keeps party above the nation and they have problems with India’s progress”, said PM Modi.
