Jhabua: Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commenced the BJP's election campaign from Madhya Pradesh's Jhabua. Addressing a rally in the tribal-dominated district, PM Modi urged voters to ensure an additional 370 votes cast in each booth compared to the last elections, aiming for the BJP to secure 370 Lok Sabha seats. Notably, in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP won 303 seats.
Expressing confidence in the Bharatiya Janata Party, PM Modi declared that the party alone would reach the milestone of 370 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. He stated that his visit to Jhabua was not for campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections but as a 'sevak' (servant) of the people of Madhya Pradesh. "Before I arrived here, I saw that there were discussions about my journey as well. Some people were saying that Modi would kick off the Lok Sabha battle from Jhabua in Madhya Pradesh," the PM said at the tribal-dominated rally in Madhya Pradesh.
"I want to clarify that Modi hasn't come for campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections. Modi has come as a sevak (servant) to express gratitude to the people of Madhya Pradesh...," he added. During his speech, PM Modi also criticized the Congress party, stating, "Congress remembers villages, the poor, and farmers only during elections". "For us, the tribal community is not a vote bank; they are the pride of our country," the Prime Minister asserted.
PM Modi also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for multiple development projects worth Rs 7,550 crore during his visit to Jhabua. His tribal outreach campaign in the state holds significance as Madhya Pradesh has the sixth-highest number of Lok Sabha seats reserved for tribals.
