No Power In The World Can Restore Article 370 In J&K: PM Modi

Dhule: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday accused Congress -led INDIA bloc of wanting to take Constitution out of Jammu and Kashmir and asserted that power in world can restore Article 370 re. He also accused Congress of pitting one caste against ar and cautioned people to stay united. "Ek hai, toh safe hai," he said.

dressing his first rally in Maharashtra for vember 20 assembly elections, Modi said INDIA grouping is flaunting blank books passing m off as Constitution to provoke Dalits and ivasis. PM said Congress and its allies should t encour “ Pakistan nda” and speak langu of separatists. nda won’t succeed till he has people’s blessings, said Modi.

“Only Ambedkar’s constitution will be followed in J&K .You must have seen on TV how a resolution was moved in Jammu and Kashmir assembly on bringing back Article 370 and when BJP MLAs protested, y were thrown out. country and Maharashtra should understand this,” Modi said.

BJP’s star campaigner also accused Congress of playing a dangerous game of dividing castes and communities. If ST (Scheduled Tribes), SC (Scheduled Castes) and OBCs (Or Backward Classes) stay united, Congress politics will be over, he said.

“ Congress wants to pit one caste against ar and weaken unity of SC, ST and OBCs. Since Nehru’s time Congress and his family opposed reservation and w ir fourth generation ‘yuvraj’ (prince) is working for caste divisions. You must realise that ‘ek hai toh safe hai’ (we will be safe if we are united),” he said.

Earlier, Modi alleged, Congress played politics over religion which led to India’s partition and w party is indulging in politics of caste. re can be bigger conspiracy against country than this, he said at rally in rth Maharashtra district.

Modi quipped that Maha Vikas Aghi (MVA), comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP), as a vehicle that has neir wheels r brakes and re is a fight re to sit in driver's seat. Recalling his affinity with Dhule and Maharashtra, Modi said whenever he has asked something from people of state, y have been gracious.

“I sought your blessings in 2014 to end 15 years of misrule of previous government. You graciously ensured that BJP got unprecedented success. Today, I am starting my campaign in Maharashtra from Dhule. Each and every candidate of Mahayuti seeks your blessings,” he said.

“I assure you that pace at which Maharashtra’s development has gained in last two-and-a-half years will t be allowed to stop,” said PM.

In coming five years, Modi said, Maharashtra’s progress and development will be taken to new heights. “Only Mahayuti can provide good governance. Maha Vikas Aghi is a vehicle that has wheels, brakes and re is a fight to sit in driver’s seat. One can hear different kinds of horns,” he said.

MVA has intention to work for development of people and state and goal of its leers is to loot public, he said. MVA was formed out of deceit and state has seen work that y have done. MVA was in power for two years before Eknath Shinde ’s rebellion in Shiv Sena sunk it and split Bal Thackeray-founded party in June 2022.

“ MVA put roblocks on development projects and stopped every scheme which could have improved people’s lives. situation changed when, with your blessings, Mahayuti government was formed and new heights of development were seen,” he said.

Maharashtra’s lost pride and belief in development was back on path, he said. “People should remember that Mahayuti aahe tar gati aahe… Maharashtra chi pragati aahe (if Mahayuti is re, Maharashtra’s progress and development is assured).

manifesto of Mahayuti – BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP – is a romap to development. It speaks of ecomic progress, social equality, security and is all-inclusive,” he said. “Empowerment of women is important for Viksit Maharashtra. Previous governments stopped women from progressing and Modi and Mahayuti removed all roblocks and provided m several opportunities,” he said.

state’s ‘Lki Bahin’ scheme is being talked about in entire country, but Congress ecosystem is working against it and even took it to court, he said.

“If voted to power, MVA will scrap scheme. Every woman should be wary of MVA,” he said.

Modi also touched upon “imported maal” comment by Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant for Mahayuti’s Mumbevi candidate Shaina NC. Women should t tolerate and forgive MVA leers for such remarks, he said.

Congress was in power simultaneously at Centre and in Maharashtra but never felt need for Marathi to be given status of classical langu, Modi said. “w, y are troubled about how Modi did this and why. This is real face of MVA,” he said.

Modi said Maharashtra has topped in foreign investments in past two years and more than 50 per cent of FDI in country came to state in first three months of this year. MVA has accused BJP of diverting big projects from Maharashtra to Gujarat .

Modi said Maharashtra’s infrastructure development is growing and cited example of Vhavan port in Palghar district. After elections are over and Mahayuti comes to power, Modi said he will work with senior BJP leer Devendra Fnavis on his demand for a third airport near Vhavan port.
