Naxalites And Terrorists Get Emboldened Whenever Congress Comes To Power: PM

Surajpur, Nov 7: On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked the Congress for failing to stop naxalism in Chhattisgarh and claimed that terrorists and naxalites gain strength everytime the Congress wins the national election. Using the slogan "30 take kakka, khule aam satta"—30% commission government, openly operating betting—Modi attacked Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel during a rally in the Surajpur area of Chhattisgarh regarding the suspected Mahadev betting app scandal. In the state, Baghel is commonly referred to as "Kaka," or uncle. In 20 of the state's 90 assembly seats, the first round of voting was taking place on Tuesday. According to Modi, the Congress has abandoned the adivasis, or tribes, and has left them to fend for themselves. Terrorists and Naxalites get more confidence whenever the Congress takes office in the nation. Reports of killings and bomb explosions appear from time to time. Crime and looting dominate wherever the Congress is in power, he declared. The Prime Minister said that the Congress administration had failed to stop Naxal violence in Chhattisgarh. "Our (BJP) party workers were kidnapped from us recently. Our party leader colleague was shot and killed a few days ago.Do you want to live surrounded by weapons and bombs? "It doesn't matter how much money you have if your son doesn't come home in the evening and his body reaches," he remarked. As a result, he said, everyone needs to be safe, and the Congress needs to be taken out of every area and voting booth.Modi attacked CM Baghel over the Mahadev betting app case, claiming that they had conducted a scam under the alias "Mahadev," which is currently being discussed both domestically and internationally. He went on, "There's no need for evidence when the biggest accused of the scam has admitted on TV that he paid the CM a bribe of Rs 500 crore."
