In a no-holds-barred attack on the Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), Prime Minister Narendra Modi termed it the biggest ‘khiladi’ (player) in corruption. He also slammed the opposition alliance calling it an “expert in hampering development”. In Maharashtra, the opposition’s MVA group comprises Congress, NCP (SCP) and Shiv Sena (UBT).
“The people here have been demanding rail connectivity for decades, but Congress and the Aghadi parties never allowed it to happen. The rapid development of Maharashtra is beyond the reach of these Aghadi parties. They have specialized in putting brakes on development. Stopping, hindering, and misleading — these are the skills Congress excels at. Aghadi, in other words, is the biggest ‘khiladi’ in corruption,” he said while addressing a public meeting in Maharashtra’s Chimur.
PM Modi further said the Congress wants to divide the Tribal community into castes.
“The tribal population in our country is around 10%. Congress wants to divide the Adivasi community into castes and weaken them… Congress wants you to fight internally and break your unity… If the Adivasi community gets divided into castes, it will end its identity and strength… The prince of Congress has announced this in a foreign country… We don’t have to become a part of Congress conspiracy and we have to stay united,” Modi added while referring to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s caste census promise.

PM Modi also talked about the Article 370 resolution promulgated by the National Conference government in the Jammu and Kashmir assembly.
“Congress and its allies have been politically benefiting from violence and separatism. Just a few weeks ago, we saw what happened in Jammu and Kashmir. This region has been burning for decades due to separatism and terrorism. The law under which all this happened was Article 370. And this Article 370 was a legacy of Congress. As soon as we abolished it, we fully integrated Kashmir with India and its Constitution,” PM Modi emphasised.
He also criticized the Gandhi family, saying that the family thinks it was born to rule the country.
PM Modi further stated, “That is the reason that after Independence, the Congress never allowed Dalits, backward classes, and Adivasis to progress”.
“The Congress gets annoyed with (the topic of) reservations. In the 1980s, when Rajiv Gandhi led the party, it published an advertisement raising questions over the special rights enjoyed by Dalits, backward classes and Adivasis,” the Prime Minister added.
He reiterated that the BJP-led Mahayuti will retain power in Maharashtra with a massive majority.
Maharashtra assembly polls are scheduled for November 20. The counting of votes will take place on November 23.
