Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress party "pushing farmers into misery"

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday alleged that the Congress party “hates” Ganpati Utsav. The prime minister, while addressing the PM Vishwakarma programme in Maharashtra’s Wardha, also accused the grand old party of “pushing farmers into misery”.

“…For decades in Maharashtra, the Congress and later the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, instead of making cotton the strength of the farmers of Maharashtra, pushed them into misery, did politics in the name of farmers and kept indulging in corruption… When Devendra Fadnavis’s government was formed in 2014, the work of textile park started in Amravati…” he said.
