Maharashtra Election Results 2024 – ‘Negative Politics Lost’: PM Modi on Maharashtra Election Results

New Delhi:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today hailed the people of Maharashtra for what he called their “historic verdict”, saying the mandate was a strong rejection of the opposition’s negative politics. This not only included what BJP leader JP Nadda called “sabotage” of the second term – when Uddhav Thackeray broke the alliance and joined hands with the Congress and Sharad Pawar to form the government – ​​​​but also discussions on a second constitution and the return of the country. of Article 370, the politics of division in the name of caste and creed, he said.

The election in Maharashtra proved the maxim “Ek hai toh safe hai (there is security in unity)” which has become a mantra for the entire country, he added to massive cheers in a speech addressed to party members at the BJP headquarters.

“Maharashtra has witnessed the triumph of development, good governance and true social justice. The forces of deception, divisive politics and family dynasties have been defeated. Maharashtra has strengthened its resolve for ‘a developed India,’ Prime Minister Modi said. In doing so, it became the sixth state to go for the BJP for a third consecutive term, after Goa, Gujarat. Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.

“Every segment of the country voted for the BJP…The Congress is incapable of measuring this change in the mood of the people. They do not want to understand the reality. The voter does not want instability. The voter is with the nation. first feeling,” Prime Minister Modi said, beginning a severe takedown of the Congress.

“The Congress and its ecosystem thought that by lying in the name of the Constitution and lying in the name of reservation, they would divide SC/ST/OBC into small groups. Maharashtra has completely rejected this conspiracy of the Congress and its allies. Maharashtra said do it loud: if there is one, then it is safe,” PM Modi said.

The Congress, he added, is incapable of forming a government on its own. It is a “parasitic” party that forms alliances and then abandons its allies. “Luckily, its partners in Uttar Pradesh were able to get rid of it (Congress). Otherwise, they too would have drowned,” PM Modi said.

The Congress, he said, had passed appeasement laws, he added, citing the Waqf Board as an example. “In the Constitution, there is no provision for Waqf Act. This was done to increase the vote bank of the Congress…There was a time when the Congress opposed jaat-paat (divisions of castes), but today this same family is spreading the poison of caste (Jaativaad),” he added.
