PM Narendra Modi says, "..The sentiment of 'Ek hain toh safe hain' has taught a lesson to those who make people fight in the name of caste, religion, language and region. It has punished them. Tribals, OBCs, Dalits, every section of the society voted for BJP-NDA. This is a strong blow to the thinking of the entire eco-system of Congress and INDI alliance, which was running an agenda to divide the society..."

PM Narendra Modi says, "This Maharashtra election has exposed the double face of the INDI-Aghadi...The Congress leadership has constantly insulted Veer Savarkar across the country. They have even abused him. To get votes in Maharashtra, these people temporarily stopped abusing him. But not even once have they spoken the truth about Savarkar's sacrifice and this shows their double face. Their only motive is to defame Veer Savarkar."

PM Narendra Modi says, "The people of Maharashtra also saw how the Congress government is betraying the people in Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal. You will also see this in Punjab...Today there is another message of the mandate of Maharashtra. Only one Constitution will work in the entire country, that is the Constitution of Babasaheb Ambedkar, the Constitution of India. Whoever talks about two Constitutions in the country, the country will completely reject them. Congress and its allies tried to build a wall of Article 370 again in Jammu and Kashmir. Maharashtra has clearly told them that this will not work. Now no power in the world can bring back Article 370."

What Are Exit Polls Saying About Maharashtra and Jharkhand?

After pollsters faced criticism for inaccuracies during this year’s Lok Sabha elections and the recent Haryana elections, many television channels opted not to commission exit polls for the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections. However, exit polls released on Wednesday evening, following the conclusion of voting in Maharashtra and the second phase in Jharkhand, indicated a potential advantage for the NDA in both states. The counting of votes for both assemblies is scheduled for November 23.

So I think the entire blueprint needs to be capped out with a proper development plan to make it into a model constituency because unfortunately today it's probably the most backward constituency in Maharashtra... I am here to seek blessings for Mahayuti govt to come again and we keep working in the service of the people..."
