"Maha Aghadi ki gaadi mein waise bhi na pahiye hain, na break hai. Aur driver ki seat par baithne ke liye bhi jhagda ho raha hai. Chaaron taraf se bhaati bhaati ke horn sunayi de rahe hain (The vehicle of Maha Aghadi (MVA) has neither wheels nor brakes and there is constant fighting to sit in the driver's seat. From all directions, there are different voices and horns blaring)," said PM Modi, addressing a rally in Maharashtra's Dhule district.

PM Modi's rally marked the beginning of the BJP's campaign for the state Assembly elections scheduled for November 20. He asserted that only the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance could ensure rapid development for Maharashtra and reiterated the alliance's commitment to the state's progress.

"We consider people as another form of God, but some people are in politics to loot the people. I assure you that the pace at which Maharashtra's development has gained in the last two-and-a-half years will not be allowed to stop," PM Modi stated.

The Prime Minister also criticised historical decisions made by former leaders Pandit Nehru, Indira Gandhi, and Rajiv Gandhi, claiming they targeted OBC and tribal communities, particularly through anti-reservation policies.

"A dangerous game of pitting one caste against another is being played by the Congress as that party can never see Dalits, backward classes, and tribals progressing," Modi asserted, suggesting these actions hindered these communities' advancement.

In addition, PM Modi announced that the Mahayuti government would recruit 25,000 women into the police force, aimed at enhancing women's security and increasing employment opportunities.

He further criticised the Congress-led MVA, claiming that they would discontinue the Ladki Bahin scheme, a financial assistance initiative for women in Maharashtra.
