PM Modi delivers an impactful address in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra
November 14, 2024
Congress used to call reservation against the country and merit. Congress' mentality and agenda remains the same, even today: PM Modi
Despite the previous govt’s hesitation, pressured by Congress, the Mahayuti government fulfilled this promise and renamed Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: PM Modi

In a powerful address at a public meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the crucial choice facing Maharashtra in the upcoming elections - between patriotism and divisive forces. PM Modi assured the people of Maharashtra that the BJP-Mahayuti government is dedicated to uplifting farmers, empowering youth, supporting women, and advancing marginalized communities.

PM Modi recalled how the demand to rename Aurangabad to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar was first raised by the iconic leader Balasaheb Thackeray. Despite the previous government’s hesitation, pressured by Congress, the Mahayuti government fulfilled this promise, reaffirming the state's rich legacy and respecting its pride. He pointed out that while Congress and its allies had gone to court to challenge the decision, the BJP-led government had made the renaming a reality.

In a broader vision of development and heritage, PM Modi discussed the strides being made in modern infrastructure across Maharashtra, particularly in Sambhajinagar. He highlighted ongoing projects, such as the Samruddhi Mahamarg, which connects Marathwada with Vidarbha and Mumbai, along with the rapid development of highways and railways. The Prime Minister also addressed water scarcity issues that have long plagued Marathwada, outlining how the Mahayuti government had successfully resumed and expanded initiatives such as the ‘Jalyukt Shivar’.

“This is the difference between Mahayuti and Aghadi, between BJP and Congress. Should Maharashtra have a government that solves water issues or one that halts projects? Don’t let Aghadi make you struggle for every drop again. Our government is focused on sustainable growth, providing assistance through schemes like the ‘Namo Shetkari Yojana’ and plans for expanding solar energy in agriculture,” he told the crowd at the rally in Sambhajinagar.

Criticizing Congress's divisive politics, PM Modi said, "The Congress has dangerous intentions. They are conspiring to scrap reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs. They had issued advertisements to remove reservations. We will thwart any such conspiracy. For a decade, they have struggled to accept an OBC Prime Minister, with their 'Shehzada' even pledging abroad to end reservations. Now, Congress is plotting to divide SC, ST, and OBC communities pitting caste against caste, to regain power. Their agenda is clear: divide and weaken. But remember, ‘Ek Hain Toh Safe Hain’."

On the national front, PM Modi warned against Congress’s proposals to reinstate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, and reiterated, “Kashmir is an integral part of India, and the Constitution framed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar should remain intact in the region. I urge the people of Maharashtra to reject such divisive agendas and support the government’s commitment to national unity and security.”

In conclusion, PM Modi reiterated his message that the choice in Maharashtra’s election is clear, support for the development-oriented BJP-led Mahayuti government or a return to the divisive politics of Congress and its allies.
