PM Modi Accuses Congress of Planning Wealth Redistribution to 'Select' Few Through X-ray Scans

In a fiery speech on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lambasted the Congress, alleging their attempts to expand religious-based reservation, particularly favoring Muslims, while accusing them of orchestrating a "deep conspiracy" to redistribute wealth among a select few.

Speaking at an election rally in Tonk, Modi criticized the Congress's governance, suggesting that practicing one's faith became challenging under their rule, even citing instances where listening to the Hanuman Chalisa was deemed a crime.

Highlighting historical instances, Modi asserted that the Congress, upon assuming power in 2004, swiftly moved to diminish SC/ST reservation in Andhra Pradesh, reallocating it to Muslims. He pledged to safeguard the reservation for Dalits and backward tribes, vehemently opposing any attempts to divide it along religious lines.

Emphasizing his adherence to the Constitution and his reverence for B. R. Ambedkar, Modi reiterated his commitment to protecting the rights of marginalized communities.

Addressing recent controversies surrounding his remarks on wealth redistribution, Modi reiterated his stance, alleging that the Congress intended to siphon off people's wealth for their vested interests.

He condemned the Congress's recurrent attempts to implement Muslim reservation, highlighting their disregard for constitutional principles.

Highlighting Karnataka's example, Modi lauded the BJP's decision to revoke the Muslim quota, prioritizing the interests of SC and ST communities.

Regarding reservation policies, Modi extended the reservation for Dalits and tribals for another decade, countering allegations of impending expiration.

Accusing the Congress and its allies of reacting vehemently to his expose on their vote bank politics, Modi questioned their reluctance to disclose their policies.

Modi criticized the Congress's purported manifesto pledges to scrutinize wealth, insinuating intrusive measures to seize excess assets and redistribute them.

Referring to recent incidents in Congress-ruled states, Modi decried instances of religious intolerance, asserting BJP's commitment to ensuring freedom of faith.

Finally, Modi accused the Congress of stoking communal tensions in various regions during their governance, promising stability and religious harmony under BJP rule.
