Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Nana Patole has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of employing divisive rhetoric in his campaign speeches for the upcoming Maharashtra polls.

Addressing rallies in various regions of Maharashtra, PM Modi charged the Congress party with attempting to destabilize unity among Dalits, tribals, and backward classes, suggesting voters should embrace the mantra 'ek hai to safe hai' (safety in unity).

In response, Patole criticized the Prime Minister's approach, asserting that such slogans indeed foster division and called for solutions to pressing issues like farmer distress. Patole further critiqued Union Home Minister Amit Shah for historical misstatements and accused state leadership of misleading citizens.
