Prime MInister Narendra Modi launched his poll campaign in Bihar on Saturday and said RJD’s ‘lantern’ brings light to only one house, while entire Bihar remains in dark, in an apparent swipe at Lalu Prasad Yadav. “This election is between Modi, who works 24×7 to make India strong and I.N.D.I.A bloc that doesn’t have work”, he said.
Addressing a public gathering in Patliputra, Bihar, Modi said, “In these 2024 elections on one hand there is Modi who is working hard for all of you 24 hours, and on the other hand, there is the INDI alliance who lies to you. On one hand, Modi is busy 24 hours and seven days in making India Viksit Bharat’ by 2047”.
“On one side there is Modi who is working 24*7 to build a developed India by 2047, who is working 20*7 to build a self-reliant India. On the other hand, there is this INDI alliance, which has no work, the countrymen have fired them. That is why this INDI alliance is busy abusing Modi,” he added.
PM Modi asserted that our constitution says that there will be no reservation based on religion in India. Babasaheb Ambedkar used to say that there would be no reservation based on religion. But, he lamented that RJD-Congress wanted to give reservation to their vote bank based on religion by ending the quota of SC/ST/OBC.
The PM said, “To make their vote bank happy, Congress changed the law related to minority institutions overnight. After this, thousands of institutions were declared minority institutions. Earlier, SC/ST/OBC used to get full reservations during admission to these institutions.”
He deplored that as Muslims were given the status of OBC, so the benefits that were supposed to be for OBCs in government jobs were then given to these communities. He accused that the rights of OBCs were snatched away to benefit INDI alliance’s vote jihad. Similarly, under Congress rule, all Muslims were given the status of OBCs overnight in Karnataka. RJD, Congress and INDI alliance can’t deny this truth. By changing the Constitution,he alleged that they want to give religion-based reservation in the country.
