The BJP has won the Haryana assembly elections and it shows the mood of the country, Modi said, adding that “in Maharashtra, we have to get a bigger victory.”

The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) wants to weaken Maharashtra to gain power, but the ruling Mahayuti will strengthen the state, he said after virtually inaugurating various development projects of more than Rs 7,600 crore in the state.

Elections to the 22-member Maharashtra assembly are likely to be held next month.

Modi said never before has Maharashtra seen the expeditious development of projects. Under the Congress regime, the same speed and scale was witnessed in terms of corruption, the PM said.

“The Congress is an irresponsible party and a factory to spread hatred. The Congress is not concerned about development and legacy, we have paid attention to both,” he said.

“Our goal is Viksit Bharat with the development of poor, farmers, youth and women,” the prime minister said.

The Congress creates fear among Muslims and converts them into its vote bank, Modi said.
