Beed: In a blistering attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Thursday here that history will have a mention of those who ridiculed the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir. He said that Maharashtra now has an opportunity to punish them.
Modi also expressed confidence that the BJP-led alliance will break all victory records in the October 21 Maharashtra polls.
Addressing an election rally at Parli in this district of Maharashtra, the BJP leader said that the Maharashtra polls are a battle between BJP’s ‘karyashakti’ (power of development) and opposition’s ‘swarthshakti’ (selfishness).
“I trust you and your patriotism that you will teach a resounding lesson to those who speak against interests of the country. History will take note of every person who ridiculed the abrogation of Article 370,” Modi thundered. He also alleged that some of the Congress leaders provided ‘oxygen’ to anti-India elements.
“When it comes to national integrity… do you think of Hindu and Muslim? Does this suit you? But some Congress leaders do so,” Modi told the gathering.
Continuing his tirade against the opposition party, Modi said, “Some Congress leaders said Article 370 abrogation is like murdering someone, India-Pakistan issue is not internal matter, abrogating Article 370 will lead to disaster in the country, Kashmir has been lost…the list is so long that I will have to stay here till October 21 to spell it out.”
Modi also said that the process of jailing those who ‘looted’ public money has begun. Noting that ‘lotus’ (BJP’s poll symbol) has always bloomed in Beed district Modi said the next week’s poll results will ‘break all victory records’.
“The Congress and NCP leaders must be gasping for breath seeing the huge response to BJP”s rallies,” Modi stated.
