"The Congress and its ecosystem had thought that by spreading lies in the name of the Constitution, they could divide the Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) into small groups. This is a solid slap on their faces," Modi added.
The voters in Maharashtra also evaluated Congress on the basis of the false promises made in other states like Karnataka, Telangana and Himachal Pradesh.
"Neither their false promises nor their dangerous agenda worked in Maharashtra," Modi said.
