Akola: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday heavily lashed out those questioning the link between the scrapping of Article 370 and Maharashtra elections.
“For political gains, some are trying to defend that there Article 370 has nothing to do with Maharashtra Assembly polls. I want to tell such people that Jammu and Kashmir and its people are also sons of Maa Bharati,” said Modi while addressing a rally in Akola in Maharashtra.
“The thinking of political opportunists hurts me from within. How can they ask what Maharashtra has to do with Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
Prime Minister conveyed that the nation is extremely proud of the sons of Maharashtra who sacrificed for Jammu and Kashmir.
Modi praised Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and said that Maharashtra has been witnessing development under his leadership.
“Before Fadnavis, you have seen a government who have had only one aim- their own progress and the progress of their families. But today, you have seen that the BJP government has only one aim -Maharashtra’s progress and the progress of the people,” he said.
