For ten years, the Centre was ruled by a 'remote-control' government which never paid attention towards Chhattisgarh: PM Modi
I challenge the Congress to select someone capable as their party president who doesn't belong to that one family: PM Modi
Congress always puts one family first and the nation’s welfare secondary: PM Modi
Congress makes fake promises. They must answer what they did for welfare of our farmers when they ruled for four generations. They kept the farmers in distress: PM
Congress believed in 'telephone-banking' which ruined the banks. A phone call from them would get loans for the cronies cleared and the nation had to suffer: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a public meeting in Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh . The public meeting saw a large presence of supporters waiting to hear from the PM.

Prime Minister Modi began his address by hitting out at the Congress saying, “For ten years, the Centre was ruled by a ‘remote-control’ government which never paid attention to Chhattisgarh.”

Terming the upcoming Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh extremely crucial for the future of the state and its people, PM Modi said, “Chhattisgah is 18 years old now. This time is extremely crucial for this state. Just like parents care for the future of their children when they turn 18, I urge all the people of Chhattisgarh to think about the future of Chhattisgarh and give BJP a chance to serve the state in the coming years.”

Talking about how the country had given four generations of a single family to rule the country, Prime Minister Modi said, “Everyone knows what this family did to this country and its people. They always put their family first and the nation’s welfare secondary.”

Repeating his earlier challenge to the Congress again, PM Modi said, “I challenge the Congress to elect someone outside from the Gandhi family as the party’s President for 5 years. Let us all see the Congress’ internal democracy.”

The PM alleged the Congress of making false promises to farmers. Listing out various farmer-friendly measures like Soil Health Cards, Fasal Bima Yojana and 100 per cent neem coating of urea initiated by the NDA Government, PM Modi said, “Congress kept the farmers in distress. If they would have strengthened the farmers, fulfilled their requirements, our farmers would have been prosperous.”

Speaking briefly about the Mudra Yojana, PM Modi shed light on how it has given wings to the aspirations of several youth. The PM said, “We have sanctioned loans for people who have small business without any guarantee. This has empowered them and is significantly strengthening the economy.”

PM Modi also attacked the Congress for the NPA mess and said, “The Congress believed in 'telephone-banking' which ruined the banks. A phone call from them would get loans for the cronies cleared and the nation had to suffer.”

The meeting concluded with Prime Minister Modi listing out several key initiatives of the state and Central government for the welfare and empowerment of the poor, the marginalized people of the country before urging everyone to come out in large numbers and vote in the upcoming elections.

“भारतातील सर्वात ख्यातनाम आणि अष्टपैलू आवाजांपैकी एक असलेल्या आशा भोसले जी यांच्या निधनाने अतिशय दुःख झाले. त्यांच्या अनेक दशकांच्या अद्वितीय संगीत प्रवासाने आपल्या सांस्कृतिक वारशाला समृद्ध केले आणि जगभरातील असंख्य लोकांच्या मनाला स्पर्श केला. भावपूर्ण गीतांपासून ते जोशपूर्ण संगीत रचनांपर्यंत, त्यांच्या आवाजात कालातीत तेज होते. त्यांच्याशी झालेल्या संवादांच्या आठवणी मी सदैव जपून ठेवेन. त्यांच्या कुटुंबीयांना, चाहत्यांना आणि संगीतप्रेमींना माझ्या भावपूर्ण संवेदना. त्या पुढील पिढ्यांना प्रेरणा देत राहतील आणि त्यांची गाणी सदैव लोकांच्या आयुष्यात गुंजत राहतील.”
