“What did the poor people of India not give Congress party?
They gave it power for 60 years but got nothing in return,” Modi, down with a sore throat, said in a brief speech, and asked the electorate to free the state of “dynastic” elements and “uncle-nephew” nexus, apparently targeting NCP chief Sharad Pawar and his nephew and former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
“Congress sought votes in the name of poverty, but did nothing for the poor. Only a handful of families prospered. They ate the ‘malai' (cream).
They enjoyed,” he said. Modi said on October 15 the people will sound the “death knell” for the 15-year-old “corrupt Congress-NCP regime”.
