Eknath Shinde slammed the opposition parties and said that they only think about defeating PM Modi but 'sheep and goats' cannot put up a fight against a lion in a jungle.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday slammed the opposition parties and said that they only think about defeating Prime Minister Narendra Modi but "sheep and goats" cannot put up a fight against a lion in a jungle. "I was with the opposition, they only thought about how to defeat PM Modi. All the animals of the forest, like sheep and goats, cannot come together and fight a lion, and a lion is a lion, in the forest only the lion rules," Shinde said.
"Everyone gathered in front of PM Modi earlier in 2014, everyone knows what happened at that time. In 2019, everyone came together to defeat PM Modi and the public defeated them in such a way that the opposition was reduced from 400 to 40," he added.
Shinde attacked Congress and said that the party, which once secured 400 seats, has come down to 40. The Congress, which once used to secure 400 seats, has come down to 40 seats. The public is with PM Modi because he is taking India towards superpower status.
The One Who Has Not Done Anything Has Nothing To Fear: Shinde On ED Raids
On being questioned about the raids on opposition parties by the Enforcement Directorate, Shinde said that the ED will raid those who have committed corruption. So the one who has not done anything has nothing to fear. "See, what ED does is that it raids those who do corruption, and then ED will raid those who have done corruption. So the one who has not done anything has nothing to fear. ED will not raid anyone like this deliberately. If the BJP had committed corruption, all the evidence would have come to light. So if nothing has been done, then why are you afraid?", Shinde said.
Commenting on the status of the National Democratic Alliance in Maharashtra, Shinde said, "There is no danger. Now we had a double-engine government, there was a government of the Shiv Sena and the BJP, so Ajit Pawar also joined us today, and we have the support of more than 215 MLAs. And the work has been done in the last year, the government has taken decisions for everyone, be it farmers, mothers, sisters, students, or youth. Before our government came to power, there were people full of arrogance; they used to put up roadblocks, and the work was halted. All the projects were closed, and we started them, so people are watching, and they will vote for the one who will do the work. Or will we vote for the one sitting in the house."
