Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress, alleging that the party had intentions to reverse the 2019 Supreme Court verdict on the Ram Mandir if they were to assume power at the Center.
According to PM Modi, a former long-time Congress member, who had recently left the party, made a startling disclosure. He claimed that after the Supreme Court's decision in 2019 favoring the construction of the Ram temple, Rahul Gandhi, often referred to as the Prince, convened a meeting with select individuals. Allegedly, Gandhi stated that if the Congress formed the government, they would seek to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling on the Ram temple.
Furthermore, PM Modi accused another leader from the INDIA bloc of dismissing the significance of the Ram Mandir. He expressed dismay over the alleged disrespect shown towards Lord Shri Ram and his devotees by certain political factions, insinuating that such behavior was driven solely by electoral considerations.
PM Modi lambasted the Congress for what he termed as their indulgence in appeasement politics and vote bank tactics. He highlighted instances such as the Maharashtra Congress purportedly absolving the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks and insinuated a connection between the Congress and the terrorists involved.
Continuing his critique of the INDIA bloc, PM Modi claimed that their agenda, if they were to come to power, would include reviving Article 370, which was revoked during his tenure, as well as scrapping the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the law banning triple talaq.
Reacting to proposals by certain INDIA bloc leaders regarding reservations for Muslims, PM Modi reiterated B.R. Ambedkar's stance on reservations for Dalits, backward classes, and tribals, emphasizing the Congress's alleged intention to undermine these communities' reservation rights in favor of religious groups.
PM Modi assured his audience that under his leadership, the reservation rights of Dalits, tribals, and backward classes would remain safeguarded.
Citing an example from Karnataka, PM Modi criticized the Congress-led government's decision to grant OBC status to all Muslims overnight, thereby allegedly depriving genuine OBC communities of their entitled reservations.
He accused the Congress of hindering development projects, citing the example of the bullet train project, which he claimed the Congress initially ridiculed and later opposed, delaying progress.
PM Modi concluded by appealing to the people for their support in his mission to develop India, emphasizing that their blessings were crucial for realizing a better future for the country. He portrayed himself as dedicated to the welfare of the nation and its citizens, urging them to consider themselves as part of his extended family.
