Maharashtra wasted 15 years under Congress-NCP rule: PM Narendra Modi

Modi is scheduled to address two-dozen rallies in Maharashtra over the next 10 days

Beed, Maharashtra: PM Narendra Modi addressed a massive rally at Beed in Maharashtra on Saturday, his first-ever after the BJP broke ties with Shiv Sena, its ally of 25 years.

In his speech Modi urged the audience to not litter on the ground and participate whole-heartedly in his pet project ‘Clean India campaign’.

He also said that Congress and NCP have the same motive and are do not support progress in the state.

Earlier, in the day, Modi addressed a rally in Haryana and sought a clear mandate for the BJP for putting the state on a growth trajectory.

Modi said that today the entire world was looking at India with greater respect and this had happened not because of him, but the power of 125 crore people of India, who had formed a strong and stable government at the Centre.

"Why has India's pride increased today? It is not because of Modi, it is because 125 crore people of India have formed a stable and strong government in Delhi. This is your magic not Modi's magic. Do you want that Haryana's name also echo around the world.

"Its first condition is that there should be 'Congress mukt Haryana'. The second that a stable government with full majority should be formed. And third, there should be a government which lets Modi work in Haryana," he said.

Attacking the ruling Congress in the state, Modi said that those who could not do anything for the last 60 years were now asking for his record in 60 days. "The people who could not do anything in 60 years, they are asking for my 60 day record," he said.

In his 30-minute address at a rally here, Modi, while describing the ruling Congress as "anti-farmer", was also critical of the party's claim that Haryana was No 1 State.
