The Congress government changed laws related to minority institutions overnight to make their vote bank happy, Prime Minister Narendra Modi charged during a poll rally in Bihar on Saturday.
Addressing a poll campaign at Patliputra in Bihar, Modi 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.” He charged, “Earlier, SC/ST and other backward classes used to get full reservations during admission to these institutions."
The prime minister said the Indian Constitution doesn’t allow reservation based on religion and added even Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar said there would be no reservation based on religion. “RJD-Congress want to give reservation to their vote bank based on religion by ending the quota of SC/ST and OBCs,” PM charged. “As long as I am alive, I will not allow the INDIA bloc to rob reservations of backward classes,” the prime minister said.
Modi said the INDIA bloc is busy abusing him as they have no work since the country fired them. “In this 2024 election, 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, there is Modi, busy 24/7 in making India ‘Viksit Bharat' by 2047 and on the other hand, there is this INDI alliance, which has no work,” he said. Modi charged RJD's 'lantern' brings light to only one house, while the entire Bihar remains in dark.
