Prime Minister Narendra Modi was speaking at a public rally ahead of the next month Maharashtra Assembly elections. PM said that there was need to make a new Kashmir. “Earlier the slogan was “Kashmir Humara Hai” [Kashmir is ours]. Now we must work towards a new slogan, ‘Naya Kashmir Banana Hai’ [We must make a new Kashmir].” A lot of efforts were being made from across the border to foment violence in Jammu and Kashmir. “We have to create a new paradise [in Kashmir]… hug each Kashmiri.” Prime Minister said bulletproof jackets made in India were being exported to over 100 countries.
Mr. Modi spoke about Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis government, saying crores of people blessed Mr. Fadnavis in his 4,000-km State-wide tour. The people have decided to bless only those who would work as per their expectations. Mr. Fadnavis had given a stable government despite the BJP not having full majority.
“Cattle don’t vote,” Mr. Modi said to criticism that his government’s programme to vaccinate 50 crore livestock is a political move.
The national animal disease control programme was aimed at eradicating the foot and mouth disease and brucellosis in livestock and vaccinating over 50 crore livestock, including cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats and pigs against the disease.
