"Opposition is frustrated because India has progressed significantly in last 10 years": Shiv Sena leader Milind Deora

"Look, in the past 10 years, the country has progressed significantly. And Stalin ji, what he says about this, the whole country knows. What are his views on Sanatan Dharma, what he says about it, the whole country knows. So it's natural that all the opposition parties are frustrated. It's natural that from day one they have had the same agenda, opposing the positive work that Modi ji is doing for the country, opposing the work aimed at empowering the youth. So it's natural that they will bring negative politics once again during this election," Milind Deora said.

Shiv Sena leader Milind Deora emphasised on the progress of the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the past decade. Speaking in Mumbai, Deora said the opposition was frustrated due to the positive initiatives undertaken by the Modi government.

"Look, in the past 10 years, the country has progressed significantly. And Stalin ji, what he says about this, the whole country knows. What are his views on Sanatan Dharma, what he says about it, the whole country knows. So it's natural that all the opposition parties are frustrated. It's natural that from day one they have had the same agenda, opposing the positive work that Modi ji is doing for the country, opposing the work aimed at empowering the youth. So it's natural that they will bring negative politics once again during this election," Deora said. He dismissed the opposition's negative politics and affirmed his belief in the electorate's discernment and backing for the ruling alliance.

"But I believe firmly that the people of India are aware, progressive people. The support that India has, especially the support of the youth, is very thoughtful and understanding. So this time, once again, under the leadership of Narendra Modi ji, the BJP and all alliances like Shiv Sena, the people of India will vote," Milind Deora said. On the occasion of Ram Navami, Milind Deora offered prayers at Shri Ram Mandir in Mumbai's Girgaon area, highlighting the cultural and religious celebrations across the nation.

Concurrently, festivities marked the auspicious occasion at Shree Kalaram Mandir in Nashik, where devotees gathered in large numbers to pay homage and seek blessings. Ram Navmi is celebrated all over India every year on the last day of Chaitra Navaratri to mark the birth of Lord Rama. On this auspicious day, young girls, representing the nine forms of the goddess Durga, are offered gifts and Prasad.
