Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the Congress after BJP-led alliance's, historic victory in the Maharashtra assembly polls, alleging that it "'parjeevi" party that "sinks boat of its allies".
He also emphasised his 'Ek hain toh safe hain' slogan, saying that biggest message of Maharashtra elections is unity.
Addressing party members in the BJP headquarters, PM Modi said it is difficult for Congress to win elections on its own.
"Congress has now become a parasitic party, increasingly difficult for it to form government on its own. Congress not only sinks its own boat, but also the boats of its allies. Today we have seen the same thing in Maharashtra also," he said.
The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) performed dismally in Maharashtra polls with Congress, which contested over 100 seats, winning only 16. Other constituents of MVA also performed poorly with Shiv Sena (UBT) won 20 seats and NCP(SP) 10.
