Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday lauded the BJP-led alliance’s sweeping victory in Maharashtra as a testament to development, good governance, and social justice. Addressing party workers, he criticized the Congress for spreading “lies and deceit” and accused the Gandhi family of sowing the “poison of casteism and divisiveness.”
“Maharashtra has chosen stability, development, and progress. Lies, deceit, and
divisive forces have suffered a crushing defeat,” Modi said, highlighting the historic nature of the BJP’s win in the state.
The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured a decisive mandate in Maharashtra, breaking records to win a third consecutive term in the state. Modi called this a “historic stamp of approval” on the BJP’s governance model and a rejection of opposition politics centered on negativity and nepotism.
