Modi takes 'ATM for royal family' swipe at Cong

"We won't let Maharashtra become the ATM of Congress," Modi said, addressing a campaign rally in Akola for the November 20 assembly elections. "Wherever Congress forms government, that state becomes an ATM for the Congress' royal family. These days, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Telangana have become their ATMs. In the name of elections in Maharashtra, they have looted ₹700 crore from liquor sellers in Karnataka. You can imagine the loot once they win the elections," Modi said.
