PM Modi said, "The Congress, my dear fellow citizens, has been accused of spreading lies relentlessly, day and night. Their agenda, unfortunately, seems to be filled with falsehoods. They have this rather unfortunate habit of pointing fingers at me and the central government for pretty much everything, even when it's not warranted.
In Karnataka, they've earned themselves a rather unflattering nickname – the ATM government. It's a sad situation, implying that they're only interested in draining the state's resources for their benefit. Now, let's talk about the state of affairs in Karnataka. It's quite disheartening to see the Chief Minister's son and others in influential positions. This has invited quite a bit of criticism, rightfully so. On another note, some individuals seem to be on a mission to weaken the very fabric of our Hindu society. This has understandably raised concerns among our citizens. But amidst all this, let's not forget the importance of women's empowerment. I've always maintained that women's power is our greatest strength. In a recent speech, I had the privilege of praising the silent support of women voters, whom I fondly refer to as the "armour" of women's power.
As Modi made his grand entrance in an open vehicle, the atmosphere at the convention pulsed with fervour and anticipation. Supporters erupted into chants of "Modi Modi" and "Bharat Mata ki Jai," underscoring their unwavering support for the BJP and its vision.
