On the penultimate day of campaigning, Modi addressed two rallies at Betul and Shajapur, and also held a mega road show in Indore, traversing 1,5km across three assembly constituencies in the state’s largest city in an open-air motorised chariot. He said that there was a wave for the BJP, which looking to retain power in the state that goes to the polls on November 17.
Addressing a rally in Betul , the PM hit out at the Congress, whose leader Gandhi had said a day before in Harda that “made in China” phones were dominating the Indian market.
“One wise leader of the Congress said yesterday that everyone in India has Made in China mobile phones. Arre murkhon ke sardar, (king of fools) in which world do you live? The leaders of the Congress have this mental disease of not recognising the achievements of their own countrymen,” the PM said.
He wondered which lens the Congress leaders use to remain clueless about what is happening in the country. “The leaders of the Congress are flying so high that they can’t see the poor on the ground and are also clueless about the ground realities,” the PM said.
He said India had become the second-largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world. “When the Congress was in power at the Centre, India used to make mobile phones worth less than ₹20,000 crore. Today, India manufactures mobile phones worth over ₹3.5 lakh crore. We export mobile phones worth nearly ₹1 lakh crore to other countries,” Modi added.
