Maharashtra, Jharkhand Election Live Updates: 'Will ensure that those wearing slippers can travel by air,' says PM Modi in Jharkhand
Maharashtra, Jharkhand Election Live Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi commenced his Maharashtra assembly election campaign on October 13 with a unity slogan "Ek hai, toh safe hai", complementing UP CM Yogi Adityanath's 'batenge to katenge' message. He challenged Congress allies to have Rahul Gandhi deliver a 15-minute speech praising V D Savarkar and Bal Thackeray, highlighting their significant contributions to the nation.
During his two campaign rallies, the BJP's prominent leader criticised Congress for fostering divisive caste-based politics. He noted that since Jawaharlal Nehru's tenure, the party has consistently opposed reservation policies.
Campaigning for the Mahayuti alliance, he emphasised their developmental achievements whilst describing the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) as lacking direction, likening them to a dysfunctional vehicle with coalition partners vying for control.
Meanwhile, Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren criticised the BJP on Friday, dismissing their 'Roti, Beti and Mati' claims. At a public gathering in Gandhnia Hat Maidan, Ghatsila, he highlighted his government's welfare initiatives for women's safety. "We have launched schemes like the Savitribai Phule Jhano Yojana for the safety of our daughters, with 12 lakh students linked to it," Soren said, supporting JMM MLA Ramdas Soren.
He indirectly criticised Union minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's statements about tribal safety in Madhya Pradesh, whilst challenging BJP's claims regarding 'Roti, Beti, and Mati' protection, particularly referencing the government's response to women's issues in Manipur.
Soren expressed confidence in the JMM-led coalition's electoral success.

Maharashtra Election Live Updates: 'Jab Congress mazboot hogi, desh majboor ho jaega,' PM Modi's scathing attack on Aghadi bloc in Akola rally
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday addressed a rally in Akola as part of the BJP campaign in the run-up to the assembly elections, taking a dig at the Congress he said that neither the party nor its allies cared about Baba Saheb Ambedkar's Constitution nor the court nor the sentiments of the country.
"Congress is well aware, the more the country weakens, the more they will strengthen. 'Jab Congress mazboot hogi, desh majboor ho jaega'. Congress creates a divide between various castes. It never let our castes unite. If our castes do not stay united and stay conflicted with each other, Congress will take advantage of it. Congress will take away the rights of SCs. This is their conspiracy and character. You have to stay aware. Remember, 'Ek hai toh safe hai," said PM Modi.
"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 Rs 700 crores from liquor sellers in Karnataka. You can imagine the loot once they win the elections," said the Prime Minister.

Jharkhand Election Live Updates: BJP squeezed Jharkhand like lemon for two decades, says Hemant Soren
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday, accusing the party of exploiting the state for nearly two decades. He also criticized the BJP-led central government for allegedly undermining India's federal structure.
Soren accused the BJP of "squeezing the state like a lemon" and "smashing" the backbone of economically weaker states. He further alleged that the BJP attempts to create "double engine governments" by destabilizing non-BJP governments.
In his own words, Soren stated, "The BJP-led Centre is destroying the federal structure of the country by creating 'double engine governments' through 'poaching of MLAs, MPs, and toppling governments'."
"BJP squeezed Jharkhand like a lemon in the last 20 years, but this has to end now. We feed the cow and they milk it. This cannot be allowed anymore. They plundered Jharkhand's wealth. It is a paradox that Jharkhand, rich in mineral resources, is one of the poorest states," Soren claimed in an exclusive interview with PTI.
"We are rich in resources - coal, iron ore, bauxite, dolomite - but our revenue collection is hampered by the central government's GST regime, which smashed the backbones of states like Jharkhand. It did nothing to address our financial needs," he alleged.

Jharkhand Election Live Updates: India not 'dharmshala' where anyone can settle, says Shivraj in Jharkhand
Asserting that "state-sponsored infiltration" was a serious threat to Jharkhand, Union agriculture minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Friday said India was not a 'dharmshala' where anyone can come and settle. Addressing an election rally in Ranchi, he accused the JMM-led ruling coalition of patronising infiltrators, and alleged that they were coming to the state, marrying tribal women by "trapping them in the web of illusion".
"India is not a dharmshala where anyone can come and settle. Foreign infiltrators pose a grave threat to Jharkhand. This country is ours -- our land, water, forests, rivers, mountains, and fields. We will not let anyone else take those from us," he said.
"The JMM-led alliance considers these intruders as its vote bank. In their greed for votes, they are protecting them, getting them enrolled on the voters' list, and helping them get Aadhaar and ration cards. The situation is such that tribal population in Santhal Parganas has come down from 44 per cent to 28 per cent," he claimed.
