PM Narendra Modi criticised Congress party, highlighting its "tainted background" & its aspirations to regain power despite facing allegations of corruption.

Modi claimed that there's a leadership crisis within the opposition bloc, suggesting that the lack of a clear leader or cohesive strategy could jeopardize their chances in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections 2024.

The Prime Minister described a state of internal conflict within the opposition alliance, referring to it as a "mahayudh" (great war) over leadership issues and the emergence of a controversial "five PMs in five years" formula.

Modi contrasted his government's focus on development with the Congress' history of corruption, terrorism, and non-governance, urging voters to consider the track record of each party before making their decision.

Emphasising his government's commitment to social justice, Modi highlighted initiatives aimed at empowering marginalised communities, including the granting of constitutional status to the OBC commission and the implementation of quotas in various sectors.

The Prime Minister asserted his government's dedication to empowering Dalits, adivasis, and OBCs, citing the appointment of Dalit and Adivasi leaders to key positions, including the presidency, under the NDA regime.

Modi accused the opposition of spreading lies and misinformation, particularly regarding OBC representation, while reaffirming his commitment to upholding the rights of marginalised communities.

Modi defended his government's decision to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, citing it as an example of upholding social justice and rectifying historical injustices.
