Patnaik failed to learn Odia in 19 years. People must choose Odia-speaking CM this time, says Amit Shah.

BJD govt adopted step-motherly approach towards west, central Odisha due to which these parts remained backward, says Amit Shah.

Naveen Babu has behaved like a step-mother with West and Central Odisha. It's time to respond to that, says Amit Shah

Congress scared of fielding candidates in seats where majority population dominates, this is why they are running towards minority seats, says PM Modi.

Congress has defamed our 5,000-year-old culture, you have to remember who coined the term ‘Hindu terrorism’, says PM Modi

Hindu can never be terrorist, Congress labelled peace-loving Hindu society as terrorists, says PM Modi

Our brave soldiers killed terrorists at their home and this Congress is raising questions on their valour, says PM Modi.

PM Modi slams opposition, asks 'You want India's heroes or those who became heroes in Pakistan'.

Don’t forget this is the same Congress-NCP alliance which had allowed the mob at Azad Maidan to crush martyrs’ memorials under their feet, says PM Modi

Despite himself being a farmer, Sharad Pawar has forgotten farmers and their plights. Several farmers were forced to commit suicide during his tenure but Pawar did not care for them, says PM Modi.

एनसीपी में इस समय पारिवारिक युद्ध चल रहा है।

पार्टी शरद पवार के हाथों से निकलती जा रही है और स्थिति ये है कि उनके भतीजे धीरे-धीरे पार्टी पर कब्जा करते जा रहे हैं।

Infighting in NCP; party slipping from Sharad Pawar's grip, says PM Modi

Sharad Pawar had once said that he can become the prime minister. He had even announced that he will contest the elections. But suddenly one day he said that he is happy with Rajya Sabha, and will not contest the election. He also knows which way the wind is blowing, says PM Modi.

NCP is even having trouble in their seat-share arrangement. The NCP-Congress alliance here is like Kumbhkaran which sleeps on for six  months, then one of them wakes up and swallows the money of the public, says PM Modi.

I would like to tell the Congress, your gali is like my gehna. Because by doing Chowkidari of toilets, I am also protecting our mothers and sisters, says PM Modi.

NCP is struggling from internal feud, the Congress-NCP alliance in Maharashtra is like 'kumbhkaran', says PM Modi.

Two days ago, a senior Congress leader said that Modi has only guarded toilets. Now you tell me, isn’t this an insult to those who have been involved in the work of cleaning, says PM Modi.

Still 10 days are left for polling. But the love and blessing you have given me, I wonder if Congress and NCP people will sleep tonight or not, says PM Modi.

Now its been open for all, that everyone can enjoy launching of satellites. Common people can also sit and enjoy it live, says PM Modi.

When I become a 'chowkidar' of toilets, I become the 'chowkidar' of mothers and daughters, says PM Modi.

I congratulate ISRO scientists for the successful launch of over two dozen satellites of foreign countries from PSLV-C45, says PM Modi.
