'BJP Storm In Madhya Pradesh Will Uproot Congress': PM Modi In Shajapur Ahead Of Polls
The Prime Minister went on to say that India is a country that is fast developing, and that investors from all over the world want to invest in India.
Ahead of November 17 Madhya Pradesh assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) storm will remove the Congress in the state, news agency ANI reported. Speaking at a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Shajapur, PM Modi said: "I have met people in various parts of MP in the past few days and sought their blessings. The trust being shown in the BJP is amazing. Those making electoral calculations while sitting in Delhi could not make their assessment. Because of people's tremendous support, BJP storm in Madhya Pradesh will uproot Congress."
The Prime Minister attacked the Congress party, saying, "Your love for us is disturbing the sleep of many people."
"Smiles have disappeared from the faces of a few people. They seem very sad. Look at their TV interviews, listen to their words--what have you made of Congress," PM Modi added.
He went on to say that no one in the country will ever forget Congress' exploits. "Wherever Congress came, it brought havoc. Nobody in the country can forget Congress' exploits. With great difficulty, the BJP has pulled Madhya Pradesh out of a deep well. Congress has just one agenda - loot, corruption, atrocity on public and lies after lies. This is their tactic," he was quoted by ANI in its report.

"Congress has only hostility, despair and negativity to give you. Out of its nature, Congress encourages appeasement, hooliganism, rioting and corruption. Congress neither has strength nor intentions," he added.
He also promised that by the end of his third term, India will be one of the world's top three economies. "Today, India is the fifth largest economy in the world. Experts across the world believe that we will soon be the third-largest economic power. I have given you the guarantee that when I sit for the third time (on the position as the Prime Minister), I will bring our economy to the third position," he stated.
The Prime Minister went on to say that India is a country that is fast developing, and that investors from all over the world want to invest in India.
"Big companies in every sector are eager to come to India. India is going to become a big manufacturing hub for the world. The energy of India that was suppressed for centuries and its strength is now going ahead on its correct path. At this crucial time, it is necessary for there to be a BJP government in Madhya Pradesh. You have to remember that Congress is the party that chases away investors, it is a party that does corruption of thousands of crores of rupees; it is a party that works for just one family. It is not concerned about your families," he said.
Madhya Pradesh will go to the elections on November 17, and the results will be counted on December 3. Voters will select representatives from among the 230 Assembly constituencies.
In the 2018 assembly elections, the Congress won 114 seats with a vote share of 40.89 percent, while the BJP finished second with 109 seats. It received 41.02 percent of the vote.
The Congress came to power with Kamal Nath taking the oath of office as chief minister, but Jyotiraditya Scindia and 22 faithful MLAs defected to the BJP in 2020. Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Chief Minister of the BJP, thereafter established the cabinet.
