Ahead of the Assembly election on February 27, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited poll-bound Meghalaya today (February 24). PM Modi addressed a rally in Shillong on Friday.
"Some people who have been rejected by the country are immersed in sadness and are now saying 'Modi teri kabra khudegi' but the people of the country are saying 'Modi tera kamal khilega'," said PM Narendra Modi in Shillong.
"When I think of Meghalaya, I think of talented people, and vibrant traditions. I am here with a message of hope and development. India is scaling new heights of success and Meghalaya is making a strong contribution to it," PM Modi
added.
PM also held a massive roadshow as a part of the election campaign in Shillong where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hopes to secure a large vote share. He will also meet BJP leaders of Meghalaya today.
This was the first visit of PM Modi to Meghalaya in 2023. BJP said that their election plan has been development and employment in a state with little of either. These, along with corruption, have been the themes in speeches of Union minister and ex-Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal, who campaigned in Meghalaya recently. He also hinted at the Sangma families' nepotism, both of which have a number of members in the fray.
