Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the people of Maharashtra today for what he called their “historic verdict”, saying the mandate was a firm rejection of the negative politics of the Opposition. This not only included what party chief JP Nadda described as the sabotage of the second mandate, but also the talk of a second constitution and the return of Article 370, the politics of division in the name of caste and creed, he said. The election in Maharashtra proved the maxim of “Ek hai toh safe hai (there is safety in unity” which has become a mantra to the whole country, he added.
Maharashtra, he said, has become the sixth state to choose the BJP for a third consecutive term, after Goa, Gujarat. Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
“Every segment of the country voted for BJP… The Congress is unable to gauge this changed mood of the country. They don’t want to understand the reality. The voter does not want instability. The voter is with the nation first feeling,” PM Modi said, beginning a harsh takedown of the Congress.
The Congress, he said, is incapable of forming governments on its own, so it forms alliances but lets down allies also. Thankfully its partners in Uttar Pradesh have been able to get rid of it (Congress). Else they too would have drowned, PM Modi said.
