Congress Silent on Muslim Castes, Tries To Divide Hindus On Castes: PM Modi

Mumbai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, October 9, slammed Congress asking why is it silent on the Muslim caste census and accused the party of trying to divide Hindus based on caste. The Prime Minister further claimed that Congress views Muslims as vote banks, adding that all its conspiracies have failed.

These comments by the PM were made during an event where he laid the foundation stones of several developmental projects worth Rs 76,000 crore in Maharashtra via video conference.

Referring to the BJP 's recent win in Haryana Polls, the PM lashed out at the Congress party saying that the Other Backward Classes (OBCs) and the Dalits stand with the BJP and the victory shows the mood of the country.

"Yesterday, the results of Haryana and J&K elections were declared...After completing two terms, getting elected for the third term in Haryana is historic."

He added, "The entire ecosystem of Congress was misleading the public...They tried to spread lies among the Dalits. The Dalits realised that Congress would snatch away reservations from them and distribute them to their vote bank. he Dalit community in Haryana extended record support to BJP ...Congress instigated the farmers. The farmers of Haryana are happy with the farmer-friendly schemes of the BJP. Congress also tried to instigate the youth. They all trust the BJP for a bright future...The public of Haryana has shown that they will not fall prey to the hatred conspiracies of the Congress and its urban Naxal allies..."

Speaking during the event, the PM called Congress a factory of 'spreading hate.'

"The Congress is an irresponsible party and a factory to spread hatred. The Congress is not concerned about development and legacy, we have paid attention to both," he said.

"Our goal is Viksit Bharat with the development of poor, farmers, youth and women," the prime minister said.
