DHAKA: India prime minister Narendra Modi on Monday attacked the ruling alliance in Maharashtra, urging voters to elect a stable government led by the BJP.

‘What did you get in these 15 years? Did Maharashtra progress? Did farmers benefit? Did the youth benefit? Did Dalits benefit? Did cities and villages benefit? Did women benefit? In 15 years, they have ruined a whole generation,’ Modi said while addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Beed, the constituency of late BJP leader Gopinath Munde.

‘Let’s vote in large numbers and let’s remember Gopinath ji while voting. Let’s vote for BJP and make the Lotus bloom,’ he added.

Taking a dig at NCP and Congress, which has ruled Maharashtra for 15 years, Modi said, ‘The hand and the clock were such, as the clock struck, the hand did the cleaning. Everything was cleaned off.’

The premier was referring to the election symbols of Congress (Hand) and the NCP (Clock).

‘While Amitabh Bachchanji hosts Kaun Banega Crorepati show, the Maharashtra government used to play Kaun Banega Arabpati every day,’ he added.
