Latur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his 45-minute speech at Latur launched a scathing attack on the Congress and its alliance partners saying that their manifesto spoke the language that Pakistan speaks.
Modi urged voters to remember the martyrs of Pulwama and the brave hearts of Balakot before they voted. The PM particularly asked first-time voters to dedicate their first vote to those who worked for the nation. "For 18 years, the country has provided for you. Now it's your time to vote for the nation" Modi stated. We will close infiltration, attack naxals and work on development for tribals if voted to power, he said. Referring to the opposition's 'chowkidar chor hai' jibe, Modi said that the opposition was in fact exposed in the recent raids. "Note se Vote," is what the Congress believes in, the PM said.
