Maharashtra has 48 Lok Sabha seats, the second highest in the country

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday compared the Congress to bitter gourd, whose taste he said will never change even if it is fried in ghee or mixed with sugar

PM Modi declared the ensuing Lok Sabha elections were a fight between stability and instability and accused the opposition of seeking power only to indulge in corruption

"The Congress is the source of all problems in the country. Who was responsible for the Partition of the country on the basis of religion...Kashmir (issue), Naxalism? Who opposed Ram temple construction and questioned the existence of Lord Ram. Who declined the Ram temple (inauguration) invite?" he asked the gathering at Chandrapur

Notably, Chandrapur was the only Maharashtra Lok Sabha seat won by the Congress in 2019 elections

Congress party has lost people's support due to its deeds and its recently released manifesto has the imprint of the pro-Partition Muslim League, Modi said

Voting for Chandrapur Lok Sabha seat will be held on April 19, the first phase of the polls

The BJP this time has fielded the state's Forest, Cultural Affairs and Fisheries Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar from Chandrapur
