Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday (9 November) slammed the Congress and the Gandhi family, saying states such as Telangana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka have become the ATM of “shahi” family.
During his rally in Akola on Saturday, PM Modi said," Wherever Congress forms the government, that state becomes the ATM of the royal family of Congress".
"Currently, states like Himachal, Telangana, and Karnataka have turned into ATMs for the Congress royal family," he said.
"People are saying that 'vasooli' have doubled in Karnataka in the name of elections in Maharashtra; the election is in Maharashtra, but the 'vasooli' have doubled in Karnataka and Telangana," he added.
PM Modi added that the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance will "not allow Maharashtra to become an ATM for the 'Mahaghotalebaaj' people of Maha Vikas Aghadi".
"Now, the entire nation knows that Maha Aghadi stands for corruption... It stands for multi-crore scams... It stands for extortion and token money... It stands for transfer-posting racket and is completely immersed in scandals, loot, and corruption," he added.
PM Modi also alleged that the Congress is trying to divide the SC and ST communities.
People of Haryana foiled the conspiracy of Congress by following the ‘Ek hai to safe hai’ (we are safe if we are united) mantra, Modi said.
“The Congress knows that it will be strengthened only if the country is weakened. The policy of that party is to pit one caste against the other,” he said.
"Congress is snatching away the rights of the Scheduled Caste community. Cheating on the SCs is both 'Chaal' and 'Charitra' of the Congress party. You all must remember that 'Ek Hai to Safe Hai'!," he added.
