Madhya Pradesh election 2023: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asserted that a storm is blowing in favour of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Madhya Pradesh because of people's tremendous support, and it will uproot the Congress from the state, according to the PTI.
PM Modi was addressing a public meeting at Shajapur in Madhya Pradesh ahead of the November 17 assembly polls.
"I can see a large number of people attending this meeting with many of them standing out in the sun as the arrangements made for the rally fell a little short as compared to the turnout. A storm is blowing in the state that will uproot Congress's 'tambu' (tent) in the state," PM Modi said, according to the PTI.
