India's growth rate is 6.8 per cent, and the country is the world's third-largest automobile market, Nadda claimed, and attacked the Congress for harping over unemployment and inflation
The BJP chief called the Centre under Prime Minister Narendra Modi pro-poor and pro-farmer and said 53 crore bank accounts have been opened in the country since 2014, when his party rode to power and continued its winning streak for two subsequent terms
Assistance under schemes is being transferred to people's accounts through DBT (direct benefit transfers), he said, asserting that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank have called India's economy stable
In Modi's third term, India will be the world's third-largest economy, said Nadda, and claimed that "India is manufacturing effective and cheapest medicines"
The Maha Vikas Aghadi will form a 'brake government' if it returns to power, the senior BJP leader said, suggesting that the grouping of Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) will slow down development in the state
Nadda claimed that the Congress has submitted to 'urban Naxals' and accused Rahul Gandhi of pursuing the agenda of anti-nationals
The BJP president also targeted Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray alleging that he has cosied up to the Congress despite his father and Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray's bitter opposition to the grand old party
Bal Thackeray had said that he would rather shut down his party than join hands with the Congress, claimed Nadda
Elections to the 288-member Maharashtra assembly will be held on November 20 and votes will be counted on November 23
