Modi accused Congress of nepotism, regionalism
Slamming Congress and other opposition parties for their alleged nepotism, casteism, and regionalism, Modi said people with a "badshahi" mindset have been insulting the poor, backward, and deprived since 2014. The prime minister asserted that the support of the poor, tribals, backward, Dalits, and women, among others, would continue to protect the "lotus," the BJP's election symbol, and help it bloom.
We don't have to be complacent: Modi

He further emphasized that the BJP needed to adopt modern technology.
