Shivamogga (Karnataka): Ahead of Lok sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on Congress, saying Congress's aim is to fill coffers by looting the public on Monday.
Addressing a public rally in Shivamogga, Modi said, Yesterday (Sunday) in Mumbai Shivaji ground, INDI Alliance made an announcement that they want to destroy Shakti'. If they want to destroy Shakti' then worshipping Shakti' is our resolve."
Gandhi had said after the conclusion of his 'Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra' at Shivaji Park in Mumbai on Sunday: Our fight against Modi is not on a personal level. Modi is a mask' who works for a shakti' (power). He is a shallow man who doesn't have a 56-inch chest, In his speech, Modi said: When I heard the announcement to eliminate Shakti from Shivaji Park, I thought how it would have hurt Bal Thackeray's soul."
The Prime Minister noted that the announcement of "eradicating Shakti" was made at Shivaji Park where every child grows up with the Mantra of Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji'. PM Narendra Modi said, "4 June ko inko pata lag jayega ki Shakti ko lalkarne ka matlab kya hota hai. The British have left, but the Congress has not left the British mentality of divide and rule...Congress first divided the country, divided based on caste, based on community, and divided people on the basis of religion, region and language, and to gain power, Congress also divided the country, but still, Congress with its divisive mentality is not satisfied with this.
"Congress has again started playing the dangerous game of dividing the country. Now they have also started speaking openly about their intentions, recently the Congress MP from Karnataka has given a statement about dividing the country once again. Instead of throwing such an MP out of the party, the Congress party is protecting him. Karnataka will never allow such politics and such conspiracies to succeed."
