Modi Govt Benefited 80 Crore People Across All Religions; This Is What’s Causing the Opposition’s Stomach Ache: Eknath Shinde
Pune, 29th March 2025: Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited Pune today and addressed several key issues during his interaction with the media. Criticizing his political opponents, Shinde accused them of spreading false narratives during the Lok Sabha elections, such as claims about reservations being abolished and constitutional changes, and instilling fear among Muslims. He defended Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies, highlighting that they have lifted 35 crore people out of poverty and benefited 80 crore citizens across all religions. “Are they only Hindus? No, people of all religions are included. That’s what is hurting them in the stomach,” Shinde remarked.
He also emphasized the importance of respecting historical figures and stated that those who speak disrespectfully about them should face punishment. Shinde’s comments come amidst ongoing political tensions and debates surrounding freedom of speech and respect for cultural icons in Maharashtra.
