Addressing party workers at BJP headquarter, PM Modi said it is getting more and more difficult for the Congress to form a government on their own.

“Their slate was wiped clean in Maharashtra today. Their divisive politics are failing. Still, their arrogance is on cloud nine. Congress not only sinks their own ship these days, but also that of their allies,” PM Modi added.

“I had challenged leaders in MVA [opposition alliance] to make a Congress leader praise Bal Thackeray's policies and principles,” PM Modi said, adding that none of them could achieve that.

“This is their two-faced nature. Their words have no value,” PM Modi said, hitting out at the opposition alliance, comprising Congress along with the breakaway factions of the Shiv Sena and the NCP, led by Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar.

The voter of this country does not want instability, PM Modi said while addressing party workers at BJP headquarter in Delhi, adding that the voter backs the 'nation first' ideology.

“India's voter does not back those who believe in a 'kursi [chair] first' philosophy”, PM Modi said.

“India's voter also tracks the progress other states are making. Maharashtra voters saw how Congress government is betraying the public in Himachal Pradesh and Telangana,” PM Modi added.

After Haryana, Maharashtra has also sent a message of 'ek hain toh safe hain'. This has becomes a ‘mahamantra’ for the country, PM Modi said while addressing party workers at the BJP headquarter in Delhi on the historic Maharashtra mandate.

PM Modi said the result of Maharashtra Assembly elections 2024 is a “stamp” on BJP's 'governance model'.

BJP alone had a lot more seats than Congress and its alliance partners combined, PM Modi said, adding that Maharashtra is the 6th state which has voted for BJP in three consecutive polls.

“In Goa, Chhattisgarh and Bihar, NDA has received the public mandate three times in a row... The mandate that people of Maharashtra have delivered today will set an example for rest of the country,” PM Modi added.

Addressing the party workers at BJP headquarter, PM Modi said, “The land of legends like Chhatrapati Shivaji, Mahatma Phule, Savitribai Phule, Baba Ambedkar and Bal Thackeray has broken records this time… No party or no pre-poll alliance has been able to achieve a victory this big in the last 50 years.”

Addressing party workers at BJP headquarters over the historic mandate to the NDA in Maharashtra elections, PM Modi congratulated and thanked all the workers of alliance in the state and expressed appreciation for Eknath Shinde, Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.

Addressing party workers at BJP headquarters over Maharashtra outcome, PM Modi said, “The people who are familiar with Maharashtra, they would know that when Jai Bhawani is said there, the slogan of Jai Shivaji echoes parallely. Today, we are celebrating another historic victory. In Maharashtra, today, development has won, good governance has won, societal justice has won deceit has lost terribly.”

After counting of postal votes, state Congress chief Nana Patole, who was trailing behind BJP's Avinash Brahmankar for several rounds of counting, has won by 208 votes from Sakoli constituency.
