“Our dedicated workers are working hard to ensure a landslide victory for the BJP in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Amidst this tireless hard work of the party workers, I am very excited to interact with them in the ‘Mera Booth Sabse Majboot’ programme on November 16 at 11:30 am,” Modi said.

Campaigning has intensified for the 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra with both the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) making efforts to woo the electorate.

The polls are scheduled for November 20 and counting will be held on November 23.

Stepping up his attack on Congress in poll-bound Maharashtra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday alleged that the opposition party wants one caste to fight the other and urged people to stay united while emphasising the slogan “hum ek hain to safe hain”.

Addressing election rallies in Chimur, Solapur and Pune, PM Modi largely focused his attack on Congress, alleging that the party is “looting people” in Karnataka and the money is allegedly being used to fight polls.

He also attacked the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi, saying its vehicle has no wheels or brakes” and there is a fight over who will drive it.

“Congress is unhappy with your unity and it wants one caste to fight the other. Will you allow this conspiracy to succeed. We have to stay united to defeat the dangerous plans of Congress, hence my appeal to you is ‘hum ek hain to safe hain (we are safe if we are united),” he said.

PM Modi spoke of the development works being done by the “double-engine” government in Maharashtra and Pune and said that the “middle-class” has always been a priority for the BJP. He said Congress should be kept away “to save Maharashtra”.”
