New Delhi [India]: Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi for “changing the direction of politics” in the country, Haryana Minister Anil Vij said that the “same magic” will work in Jharkhand and Maharashtra assembly elections, as it did in the recent elections.
He further stated that PM Modi does the politics of development, adding that the whole nation wants to work towards his target of ‘Viksit Bharat’.
Speaking to media, Vij said, “The same magic will work in Jharkhand and Maharashtra elections as it did in the recent elections and now wherever elections are held, the same magic will work because PM Modi has changed the direction of politics. Earlier, politics was done by making false promises, now Modi ji has changed it into the politics of development. PM Modi wants to take the country towards a ‘Viksit Bharat’ and people want to walk with PM Modi’s developed India.”
“Why to date no Prime Minister could think about a developed India. Only Narendra Modi thought that the countries that became independent after us have also become developed but India is still struggling for basic facilities. That is why the goal of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ was decided by Modi ji,” the Haryana BJP leader said.
Meanwhile, the campaign for the first phase of assembly polls in Jharkhand ended on Monday.
Jharkhand will go to the polls in two phases on November 13 and 20. 43 out of the total 81 seats will go to the polls in the first phase.
Campaigning in the state, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and accused him of “humiliating” Champai Soren.
“Champai Soren has been loyal for so many years, standing with Hemantji, but how he was humiliated and removed is not just an insult to Champai Soren but an insult to the entire tribal community. The main issue was that Champai Soren stated that corruption should stop, but the JMM was not willing to end it,” he alleged.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a road show in Ranchi and two rallies–one in Bokaro and another in Gumla–where he slammed Congress and its allies for “attempting to create a divide between SCs, STs, and OBCs.”
The Maharashtra Assembly elections will take place on November 20, votes will be counted on November 23.
The opposition MVA coalition, comprising Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the Nationalist Congress Party (SCP), aims to reclaim power in the state, challenging the Mahayuti alliance, which includes Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Ajit Pawar-led NCP.
In the 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, Shiv Sena secured 56, and Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP won 122 seats, Shiv Sena 63, and Congress 42.
