Prime Minister Narendra Modi cautioned the public against placing trust in the INDIA bloc, emphasizing that the Congress party, akin to a rootless vine, ultimately withers those who support it. Speaking at a Vijay Sankalp meeting in Parbhani, he attributed the lack of development in Maharashtra to the Congress, accusing it of hindering progress in the state and exacerbating issues in Jammu and Kashmir.
Highlighting the transformation in public discourse over the years, Prime Minister Modi noted a shift from concerns about cross-border terrorism to discussions about India’s response, particularly surgical strikes, underlining his government’s resolve in tackling security challenges.
