Addressing an election rally here today, he also highlighted the plight of tribals in the Vidharba region of the state who got lesser remuneration for their produce than those in Chhattisgarh and held the current regime responsible for it, as he exhorted people to give BJP a "full majority".
"What is the reason for such a state of Maharashtra? Maximum number of terror acts occur in Maharashtra. Maximum communal riots after Uttar Pradesh took place in Maharashtra under Congress-NCP rule. Do they have any responsibility or not?" he said.
Noting that the October 15 elections would decide the fate of Maharashtra, he said the state could be the number one in the country.
The Prime Minister also targeted NCP chief Sharad Pawar for not doing anything for people of Maharashtra both as Chief Minister and Agriculture Minister.
"Sharad Pawar was Agriculture Minister, but in Maharashtra, 3,700 farmers committed suicide every year. 3,700 families were destroyed, but Congress and NCP government did not shed tears for them. Such a cruel government has never existed in any corner of the country," he said.
