'The party of those who say that religion is in danger is in danger'- Riteish Deshmukh

Maharashtra Election 2024: The atmosphere of assembly elections in Maharashtra is hot, and all the major parties are busy campaigning for their candidates. This time actor Riteish Deshmukh has also entered the campaign field, who is campaigning in Latur in support of his younger brother and Congress candidate Dheeraj Deshmukh. In his speech, Riteish attacked the BJP and put forth his views on development, religion, employment, and the problems of farmers.

"The party of those who say that religion is in danger is in danger"

Riteish Deshmukh took a dig at the BJP and said that "those who say that religion is in danger, in fact their party itself is in danger. They are struggling to save their party and power." Questioning the policies of the BJP, Riteish said that instead of focusing on development, the BJP is making the issue of religion prominent.

Message of karma and dharma

Ritesh, citing the teachings of Lord Krishna in his speech, said, "Karma is dharma." He said, "A person who does his work honestly is actually following religion." Targeting the BJP, he said that those who focus on religion instead of development issues should tell that the public actually needs development, not religious issues.

Emphasis on employment for youth and problems of farmers

Ritesh also questioned the lack of employment of youth and said, "The educated youth of the country are not getting jobs, and it is the responsibility of the government to provide employment opportunities." He also expressed his concern over the plight of farmers and said that farmers are not getting a fair price for their produce.

Ritesh appealed to the people to support Dheeraj Deshmukh so much that his rival candidate's deposit is forfeited.

"Understand the value of vote"

Ritesh Deshmukh asked the public to understand the value of their vote. He said that vote is not just a right, but it is also a responsibility, which can determine the direction of a better future. Reacting to BJP's "If you divide, you will be cut", Ritesh gave a message of brotherhood and unity to the people.

Prime Minister and CM Yogi's counter attack on the opposition

Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Congress of caste discrimination in Nanded and said, "If we remain united, we will remain safe." Modi appealed to make the Mahayuti candidates win and said that unity is the only way to secure the future. In the same sequence, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also said during a rally in Washim, "If we remain divided, we will be attacked, so only unity can ensure security."
