Congress Looted Rs 700 Crore From Liquor Sellers In Karnataka: PM Modi In Maharashtra

Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Congress of using Karnataka, Telangana, and Himachal Pradesh as ATMs on Saturday.

Speaking at a rally in Akola, the Prime Minister said that the Congress has looted Rs 700 crore from liquor sellers in Karnataka. He said, "Wherever Congress forms government, that state becomes an ATM for the Congress' royal family. These days, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana have become their ATMs. In the name of elections in Maharashtra, they have looted Rs 700 crores from liquor sellers in Karnataka. You can imagine the loot once they win the elections,"

PM Modi stated that the Congress does not care about Baba Saheb Ambedkar's Constitution nor the court nor the sentiments of the country.

"Congress is well aware, the more the country weakens, the more they will strengthen. 'Jab Congress mazboot hogi, desh majboor ho jaega'. Congress creates a divide between various castes. It never let our castes unite. If our castes do not stay united and stay conflicted with each other, Congress will take advantage of it. Congress will take away the rights of SCs. This is their conspiracy and character. You have to stay aware. Remember, 'Ek hai toh safe hai," ANI quoted him as saying.

He further said that his government in the Centre has built an additional three crore homes for the underprivileged in the country.

"In the last 2 terms, Modi has built 4 crore houses for the poor. Not only this, the target that was set at that time was also accomplished. Now we are starting to build 3 crore more houses for the poor," PM Modi stated.

"The people of Maharashtra have consistently supported and blessed the BJP from 2014 to 2024. This is due to their patriotism, political understanding, and foresight. Serving Maharashtra, therefore, is a unique and delightful experience for me," PM Modi added. He further said, "When you visit other villages and meet people if you see a family still living in a temporary house or hut, send his name and address to me. And assure him of a permanent house on my behalf. 'Mere liye aap hi Modi hain'. You promise him, and I will fulfil the promise."

Maharashtra will vote in a single phase on November 20. The counting of votes will be on November 23.
