PM Narendra Modi's Speech at Jalgaon, Maharashtra: Highlights

PM Narendra Modi in Jalgaon, Maharashtra

Jalgaon: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an election rally at Jalgaon, Maharashtra. Here are the highlights:

  • I have not grown up in palaces or into families where there were leaders and PMs. I was born in a poor family.
  • October 15 is your day of freedom.
  • No jobs in Maharashtra, people have to go elsewhere
  • Have come to you with a dream of development.
  • Maharashtra government looted widows of Kargil War martyrs.
  • End 15 years of misrule on October 15.
  • Big deal for Congress to go to the poor, not for me.
  • Congress, NCP scared of people supporting me.
  • The Congress has been ruling for 60 years, have they ever given you an account of what they have done.
  • This Congress party has never given any account of their work in 60 years and they're asking me to account for 60 days in office. Shame on them.
  • I will give you an account of every moment spent in office, what they could not do in 10 years, I have managed to do in 10 days. This is a government for the poor because I have seen poverty.
  • In your neighbouring Gujarat, there is a Sardar Sarovar Dam that is being built.
    If that had been constructed 10 years ago you would have received  free electricity, but the government in Delhi did not let the work go on.
  • Now the work has started again and very soon you will get electricity.
  • Every person should be able to find employment where he was born and brought up. Economic development should be such that you should be able to earn a livelihood in your village.
  • This government in Maharashtra is corrupt. They have taken food from the plates of children in mid-day meals, they have taken away houses intended for Kargil war widows.
  • Who is responsible for the load-shedding in Maharashtra?
  • I wondered why the Congress and NCP was troubled by my Maharashtra visit. Now I see they were troubled by the amount of people who have turned up here.
