He said that his participation in Ganesh Puja has caused problems for the Congress and its entire ecosystem. Modi alleged that the Congress and its supporters were showing intolerance towards Ganesh Utsav and trying to divide the society.

Attacking the Congress, PM Modi said, "Ganesh Utsav was also a thorn in the eyes of the British who followed the policy of divide and rule. Even today, power-hungry people who are engaged in dividing and breaking the society are having problems with Ganesh Puja." He also accused the Congress that its government in Karnataka had put the idol of Lord Ganesha behind bars, which led to outrage across the country.

Opposing hateful thinking

PM Modi further said that hateful thinking and the mentality that spreads poison in the society is dangerous for the country. He also added that such hateful forces should not be allowed to move forward. PM Modi appealed to everyone to come together and take the society in a positive direction and contribute in taking Odisha to new heights.
