"Chhattisgarh has left no stone unturned in giving its blessings to me...You have come here in such large numbers to bless us today. You people have not only formed the BJP government here but have also strengthened the foundation of developed India," Modi said.
"...After many decades the country has seen a stable and strong government of BJP. The biggest priority of our government was the welfare of the poor.

"During COVID, Modi provided free vaccines and provided free ration to poor people and this scheme has also been extended for the next 5 years...," he said, adding that due to his government's effort, 25 crore people have risen above the poverty line.
He used the platform to reiterate his stance on the Congress manifesto saying it has imprints of Muslim League.
Further criticising the grand old party, Modi said, "After independence, Congress thought that it had the license to loot the country but after coming to government in 2014, Modi has cancelled the loot license of Congress and Modi was able to cancel the license because you gave Modi the license."
"Now their shop has been closed, will they abuse Modi or not? So who will protect me? These crores of my countrymen, my mothers and sisters, have become my raksha kavach today," he added.
Modi's Bastar rally comes close to the heels of an encounter between the Naxalites and security forces in which 22 Naxalites were neutralised in the Bijapur district
