In the city of Tonk, located in Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an election campaign gathering on Tuesday, unleashing a scathing critique against the Congress party. He expressed that simply indulging in the recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa has been labeled a transgression under Congress’ governance.
“Merely listening to the Hanuman Chalisa becomes an offense under Congress’ rule, making it arduous for individuals to adhere to their faith amidst their governance,” PM Modi remarked during the rally in Rajasthan.
On the 18th of March, a dispute arose in Bengaluru, Karnataka, between a group of individuals and a shopkeeper regarding the playing of religious music during the Azaan, sparking a fresh political controversy with the BJP directing criticism towards the Siddaramaiah government.
Referencing the recent uproar caused by his comments on ‘redistribution of wealth’ during the rally in Banswara, Rajasthan, PM Modi stated that it has greatly irked the Congress and INDI Alliance, leading them to resort to “slandering” Modi at every opportunity.
“I have laid bare the reality before the nation that Congress is scheming a profound plot to seize your assets and allocate them among a ‘chosen’ few,” he declared at a gathering in Tonk.
“A few days ago, I revealed the vote bank politics of Congress as appeasement politics; this has deeply upset Congress and its INDI Alliance to the point where they are hurling abuses at Modi everywhere,” he continued, questioning “why Congress fears the truth and conceals its agendas.”
“Their manifesto explicitly states intentions to survey the wealth. Their leader proclaimed in a speech that a ‘radiography’ of wealth will be conducted,” he elaborated, adding, “Upon Modi exposing the hidden agenda, the true nature of their scheme was revealed, and they are now quaking in fear.”
Amidst debates surrounding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assertion that “Congress aims to seize women’s Mangalsutra,” the Prime Minister reiterated that he had brought forth the reality that Congress is plotting to seize your possessions and distribute them among their favored individuals.
“When I arrived in Rajasthan just two days ago, I presented certain truths to the nation in my concise 90-second address. This has stirred a frenzy within the entire Congress and INDI alliance. I presented the truth that Congress is plotting to seize your possessions and distribute them among their favored individuals. I exposed their tactics of securing votes through appeasement. Why does Congress harbor such fear of the truth?” PM Modi inquired.
Further intensifying his criticisms, PM Modi stated that the ideology of Congress has consistently revolved around appeasement and vote bank politics. “Immediately upon the Congress government taking office in 2004, their initial objective was to reduce the reservations for SC/ST in Andhra Pradesh and introduce reservations for Muslims. This was a trial run that Congress sought to implement nationwide. Between 2004 and 2010, Congress attempted to introduce Muslim reservations in Andhra Pradesh on four occasions. However, due to legal obstacles and the vigilance of the Supreme Court, their plans were thwarted,” PM Modi highlighted.
“The Constitution outright opposes it. The reservation rights bestowed by Baba Saheb upon Dalits, backward classes, and tribals were sought to be extended to Muslims based on religion by Congress and the INDI Alliance. Amidst these machinations of Congress, Modi stands here today guaranteeing you from this open platform that reservations for Dalits, backward classes, and tribals will neither be abolished nor fragmented in the name of religion. This is Modi’s assurance,” he concluded.
