The reason the Congress is so desperate to form the government in Madhya Pradesh is because it wants to use the State as its ATM for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in the poll-bound State’s Khandwa district on Sunday.
Even as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) looks to retain power in the State, Mr. Modi said that the party would form the government at the Centre for the third time.
“But to pace up the development in M.P., I don’t need a speed-breaker here. I don’t need a government which hits breaks or is in reverse gear, but a sharp and fast BJP government,” he said, addressing his third poll rally in two days. The PM also addressed a rally in Seoni district earlier in the day.
