RAIPUR: Addressing an election meeting at Udhnapur village under Manendragarh assembly constituency, chief minister Dr Raman Singh said that every single vote of the people is valuable. Only with the blessings of the people Banshilal Mahato would become Member of Parliament and Narendra Modi prime minister of the country, he added.

Dr Raman Singh said that the country needs a strong prime minister, not a helpless one. After becoming prime minister, Narendra Modi, who has been struggle in life, would take the country to the highest point of development. Seeing the gathering of about 20,000 in the Udhnapur meeting, Dr Raman Singh said that Manendragarh would be number one assembly constituency under Korba parliamentary seat, from where the BJP would get highest number of votes.

He said that the election would be historical. With its result, both the face and the luck of the country would be changed. Remaining in power, the NDA, under the leadership of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had brought development in the whole country. With several ambitious schemes like Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and Antyodaya Yojana people had been shown the way of development, he added.

On the contrary, he said, remaining under the prime ministership of Manmohan Singh for 10 years, the prestige of the country has been faded. The treatment of Dr Manmohan in these years has reacted and the Congress is now on the deathbed. Because of the inactivity of the UPA government and the annoyance of people towards the Congress, now the party would get only 70 seats, as the BJP would capture seats in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Delhi. The NDA and the BJP will get over 272seats and government will be formed under the leadership of Narendra Modi after May 16.

He said that Modi wave is much strong in UP, Bihar, Karnataka and other states. Local MLA Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, Baikuntpur MLA Bhaiyalal Rajwade, former MLA Deepak Patel, mayor Dambroo Behra, BJP district general secretary Rameshwar Pandey, Chandrakant Patel and others also addressed the meeting.
