The Prime Minister addressed a huge public meeting in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, on Thursday.
During this rally, PM Modi slammed the Congress and the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi and said: "The Maharashtra Assembly election is not only to elect a new government in the state.

PM Modi was also facilitated by NDA leaders, including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Union Minister Ramdas Athawale.
Voting for 288 Assembly seats in Maharashtra will be held in a single phase on November 20 and the results will be declared on November 23.
