Addressing a public rally on Monday, PM Modi said, "This is an election between stability and instability. On one side is the BJP, which believes in making strong and big decisions for the country. On the other hand, is the Congress party and the INDI alliance which says 'jaha bhi satta pao, khoob malai khao' (Reap as much benefits as possible wherever come to power)."
"INDI Alliance has always pushed the country into instability. How important it is to have a stable government, who can understand better than Maharashtra," he added.

Slamming the opposition for halting development programmes and central government schemes, PM Modi said that Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government is working for the state.
"They (Opposition) stopped Jal Sanjeevani Yojana. I inaugurated Samruddhi Mahamarg for the development of Vidarbha, they even opposed that. They halted the Watergate programme, stopped the refinery project in Konkan, and halted the work on the Mumbai metro. They even stopped giving houses to poor people, despite the Centre releasing funds. They had only one target 'Commission lao ya kaam par break lagao' (bring commission or put a brake on the work)," the Prime Minister said.
"We have restarted all the development projects. The Maharashtra government under CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar is working day and night," he added.
Prime Minister Modi also gave reference to the wide range and quality of wood from Chandrapur, stating that the wood has been used in the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya as well as the new Parliament building.
