Akola: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lashes out on opposition of Maharashtra in his election campaign in Maharashtra that had hold olling for 21 October this year.
In his addressing, PM Modi hit back on Sharad Pawar’s comment and said in Hindi: "Doob maro (drown in shame)".
Notable that NCP Chief Sharad Pawar had claimed that PM Modi and BJP is ignoring local issues this
election and diverting voters by raising Article 370, Pakistan issue, Balakot Airstrike, Rafale fighter jet. He had accused the ruling BJP of diverting attention from its failures in the two states it rules by tom- tomming the Article 370 move.
On Tuesday Sharad Pawar in a rally said, "Since the BJP does not have anything concrete to show, they
are harping on abrogation of Article 370 in J-K. When it was revoked, some people in Kashmir protested.
The Congress supported the proposal and asked that people there be taken into confidence. We are also
happy. There were no complaints. I publicly announced my support but they (PM Modi and Amit Shah)
question my opinion."
He added: "Question them about farmer suicides, unemployment, closure of industries, and the BJP
replies Article 370."
PM Modi said, "A shameless opposition is asking what is the connection between Article 370 and
Maharashtra. We are proud of the children of Maharashtra who sacrificed everything for Jammu and Kashmir. But today, for their political gains, these people who are steeped in their family are asking what has Maharashtra got to do with Jammu and Kashmir? Doob maro! Doob maro!.”
"I am shocked that in the land of Shivaji, today such voices are being raised for political gains. Look at their shamelessness, that they are openly saying that Maharashtra has nothing to do with Jammu and Kashmir,” he added.
Maharashtra and Haryana will vote for new assemblies on Monday October 21, and the results will be
declared on October 24.
