It is clear in the 1st phase of polling that Chhattisgarh is going to be Congress-free soon: PM Modi
Victory for BJP in Chhattisgarh means rapid development, fulfilling dreams of youth, empowerment of women, and an end to rampant corruption: PM Modi
Congress only wants to make and keep people poor so that it can perpetually loot you all: PM Modi
Congress even hated BR Ambedkar ensuring a premature end to his political career: PM Modi
Congress can go to any extent for their appeasement politics. What they did with the Satnami community is a vibrant example of the same: PM Modi
For the last 5 years, the Congress government here has stopped every work for the public's welfare. The only goal of Congress is to loot Chhattisgarh and fill its coffers: PM Modi

Ahead of the Assembly Election, PM Modi addressed two massive public meetings in Mungeli and Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh. He said, “It is clear in the 1st phase of polling that Chhattisgarh is going to be Congress-free soon.” He added that he is thankful to the youth and the women of the state who voted in favor of the state’s development. PM Modi stated, “Victory for BJP in Chhattisgarh means rapid development, fulfilling dreams of youth, empowerment of women, and an end to rampant corruption.”

On the state of Congress in Chhattisgarh, PM Modi said, “The youth, women, and farmers of the state of Chhattisgarh have made sure of the defeat of Congress.” PM Modi added that as the Congress has accepted its defeat it is now relying on falsity and is making false promises to the people of Chhattisgarh. He added that CM Baghel-led corruption by the Congress has betrayed the trust of all the voters who had helped the Congress form the Government.

On the various mathematical models of the Congress-led corruption, PM Modi said, “The Congress-led Rs. 508 crore corruption in the Mahadev Betting Scandal is very well known”. He added that there is even an audio file that showcases Congress-led corruption in seat allocation for contesting the elections in Chhattisgarh. PM Modi stated that Congress-led corruption has also resurfaced in its attempt at enabling political favouritism in the PSC exams. They have also fooled the women of the state by making them a false promise of an alcohol ban.

On the development of the state of Chhattisgarh, PM Modi said, “With the blessings of the people, BJP should form a Government in Chhattisgarh soon to facilitate robust development under a ‘Double-engine Sarkar.’ He added that Modi’s guarantee is the fulfilment of all guarantees. PM Modi said, “Congress only wants to make and keep people poor so that it can perpetually loot you all.”

On the hate of Congress for the people of India, PM Modi lamented, “Congress hates me and their increased levels of hatred has also made them hate my caste.” He added that the Congress’ hatred for the poor and downtrodden people of India is well-known. PM Modi said, “Congress even hated BR Ambedkar ensuring a premature end to his political career.” He added that their regressive mindset has made them not grant adequate opportunities to the Janjatiyas for their empowerment and development.

Highlighting the politics of appeasement of Congress, PM Modi said, “Congress can go to any extent for their appeasement politics. What they did with the Satnami community is an example of the same.” He added that Congress does not care for Dalits, Janjatiyas, and OBCs in India.

Highlighting Congress-led underdevelopment of India, PM Modi said that it is the Congress that is solely responsible for the poverty and underdevelopment in India. On the contrary, the BJP has enabled the exit of 13.5 crore people from poverty in just 5 years, PM Modi added. “It is Modi’s guarantee that has enabled people free ration, pucca houses, free health and quality medicines,” PM Modi said. He added, “How times have changed when under Rajiv Gandhi Government out of the Rs. 100 earmarked only Rs. 15 would reach people, while today medicines worth Rs. 100 are being sold at Rs. 20. This is Modi’s promise,” he added.

In his second rally in Mahasamund, PM Modi thanked the people of Chhattisgarh for ensuring the defeat of Congress here, he said, “Congratulations because the voting that took place in the first phase on 7th November has burst the balloon of lies of Congress. Today the whole of Chhattisgarh is saying in one voice – BJP is back. 7th and 17th November together are ensuring the departure of 'Kakka', who holds 30% of the Congress' share, from the government.”

“For the last 5 years, the Congress government here has stopped every work for the public's welfare. The only goal of Congress is to loot Chhattisgarh and fill its coffers. When the Congress government that looted Chhattisgarh will lose, when the BJP government that develops Chhattisgarh will come into power here, then Chhattisgarh will reach the height of development that this state deserves. As a result, Bhupesh Baghel faces formidable challenges in securing a position as an MLA in the upcoming elections,” he added.

Talking about Chhattisgarh’s cultural heritage and natural beauty. PM Modi said, “Mahasamund has been the capital of South Kosal and has been the center of knowledge. BJP is engaged in extensive expansion of tourism related facilities and pilgrimage areas in the country. Wherever there are traces of Lord Ram, those places are being connected with modern facilities through the Ramayana Circuit Scheme. Similarly, under the Tribal Circuit Scheme, facilities are being developed in places related to tribal culture. When BJP government is formed here, this campaign will also gain momentum. This will provide thousands of jobs to the youth of Chhattisgarh.”


“BJP has ensured the development of the people while also preserving India’s local traditions and cultural heritage. Modi’s guarantee means the fulfilment of all guarantees,” added PM Modi. He appealed to all the voters to vote for the BJP to ensure steadfast commitment to the development of the state of Chhattisgarh.
