Addressing a rally at Chhattisgarh's Naxalite-infested Kanker district on Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave his blessings to the little girl holding his sketch in her hands. Expressing his delight, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated: "Daughter I bless you... write your address, I will definitely write a letter to you!"






"Everyone was saying that PM Modi will be coming here. I made a sketch for him and he said that he would write a letter to me...," said Akansha Thakur who gifted PM Modi a sketch of him, during an election rally. 






Earlier today, PM Modi slammed the Bhupesh Baghel administration in poll-bound Chhattisgarh, saying "Congress and development cannot exist together" and that the BJP's objective is to promote the state's identity and the rights of tribals and backward sections.

PM Modi, speaking at a rally, accused the Congress administration of "corruption" and said that its politicians worked for their personal advantage.


“Congress filled its coffers with black money by committing scams worth lakhs of crores in the Central Government. Congress has not been in the central government for 10 years now, therefore the coffers of Congress getting empty. Wherever Congress is in power in the state, it is looting the people there," he stated. 






“It is the policy of the BJP that every section of society receives the benefit of development and progress. For the first time in history, BJP decided to make the daughter of a tribal family the President, but Congress opposed it. They carried out propaganda against her. This protest of Congress was not against BJP but against the tribal daughters,” he added.
