Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the INDI alliance’s fight is against ‘Shakti’. Addressing a public rally in Telangana he said Shakti is the form of every mother, daughter & sister.
“The INDI alliance in their manifesto said that their fight is against ‘Shakti’. For me, every mother, daughter & sister is a form of ‘Shakti’. I worship them in the form of ‘Shakti’. I am the worshiper of Bharat Mata…Their manifesto is to finish ‘Shakti’, and I accept the challenge…’Main jaan ki baazi laga dunga’…” ANI quoted Prime Minister as saying.
Cementing BJP’s position for the upcoming general election, he said, “The biggest festival of democracy begins. On May 13 the voters of Telangana will script history.”
“Can someone talk about the destruction of ‘Shakti’?…We dedicated the success of the Chandrayaan mission by naming the point where Chandrayaan landed as ‘Shiv Shakti’…The fight is between those who want to destroy ‘Shakti’ and those who worship ‘Shakti’…’Muqabla 4 June ko ho jaaega’…” the Prime Minister further added.
Hitting at Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) Modi said the party has misused people’s faith, formed a government & then betrayed their trust. For 10 years, after its formation, Telangana was ruthlessly looted by BRS. And now, Congress has made Telangana its ‘personal ATM, he further added.
