Congress is bitter gaurd:says PM Modi
Addressing his first rally in Maharashtra for the general election, Mr. Modi, who is seeking a third consecutive term in office, accused the Opposition of craving power solely to indulge in corrupt practices. “The Congress is the source of all problems in the country. Who was responsible for the partition of the country based on religion, Kashmir, or Naxalism? Who opposed Ram temple construction and questioned the existence of Lord Ram with a battery of advocates? Who declined the Ram temple invite?” the 73-year-old asked at an impressive gathering at Chandrapur, known as the ‘City of Black Gold’. The city houses the country’s largest power station with a capacity of 2,340 MW, which accounts for 25% of the State’s power needs
Quoting a Marathi adage on the taste of bitter gourd not changing even when cooked with sugar and ghee, Mr. Modi said: “The Congress is like bitter karela [bitter gourd]. Even if sugar is added or it is fried in ghee, its taste will never change.”
Further, he said that wood sourced from Chandrapur was utilised in the construction of both the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the new Parliament building in Delhi. Lastly, the BJP leader asked the gathering to visit every household in their locality and convey his personal greetings to them.
Mr. Modi also said that Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his Shiv Sena are taking the late Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideology forward with vigour.
