India Can Eliminate Nefarious Acts

Madhya Pradesh Earlier a BIMARU State

Lauding the works of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the defence minister said that Madhya Pradesh was earlier a BIMARU laggard state. But people of the country are now saying if one has to see growth, one must go to Madhya Pradesh. He said that Madhya Pradesh is the cleanest state in the country. The per capita income in MP was only Rs 11,718 in 2001-02 which is now increased 10 times to more than Rs 1.40 lakh in 2023.

This Election Will Also Decide the Direction of the Upcoming Lok Sabha Polls

Addressing another rally in Bhind, Singh said that this election will also decide the direction of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. He said that the people of the country want to see Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister again.

Opposition Alliance's Sole Objective is to Oppose Narendra Modi

Singh alleged that the sole objective of the opposition alliance is not to bring development but to oppose Narendra Modi.

He said that these parties have nothing to do with Madhya Pradesh in the remaining period.
