Jaipur. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday that if Congress comes to power at the Centre, it will take people’s property and distribute it among Muslims. Modi said this while quoting a statement of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, in which he had reportedly said that the minority community has the ‘first right’ on the country’s resources. Addressing an election rally in Banswara, Rajasthan, the PM said, ‘This urban Naxal thinking…my mothers and sisters, it will not let even your Mangalsutra escape. Will go to this extent.
The PM claimed, ‘This Congress manifesto is saying that they will calculate the gold of mothers and sisters, get information about it and then distribute that property. And will distribute it to those about whom Manmohan Singh’s government had said that Muslims have the first right on property. Earlier, when his government was in power, he had said that Muslims have the first right on the country’s property. This means, after collecting this property, to whom will we distribute it?… We will distribute it to those who have more children.
‘You have done wrong…’ Why did the Supreme Court judge get angry at the lady police officer, imposed fine, know the whole matter
your hard-earned money to infiltrators
PM said, ‘We will distribute the infiltrators. Will your hard-earned money be given to infiltrators? Do you approve of this?’ Modi was referring to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s controversial ‘Pehla Haq’ comment made in 2006. However, the Congress manifesto highlights the issue of economic inequalities and the party has stressed that it does not call for taking anything from anyone and supports a “comprehensive socio-economic caste census”.
Misrepresented-Congress
Congress had also claimed that Rahul Gandhi did not promise ‘redistribution’ of the country’s wealth in Hyderabad on April 7, 2024, and his words were ‘misrepresented’. But Rahul Gandhi reportedly talked about the need to conduct a survey for more equitable distribution of the country’s wealth, following which Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh gave a clarification.
Congress trapped in the clutches of leftists
In his rally in Banswara, Modi alleged that Congress is now ‘trapped in the clutches of the Left’ and what the party has said in its manifesto is worrying and serious. He said that this is his attempt to bring the ideology of Maoism to the ground. Modi said, ‘It (manifesto) says that if Congress government is formed then everyone’s property will be surveyed. The amount of gold our sisters have will be investigated and calculated. There is silver in our tribal families, it will be accounted for. The gold that belongs to the sisters and the other property will be distributed equally to everyone.
Congress wants to seize your property
Modi said, ‘Do you accept this? Does the government have the right to seize your property? Does the government have the right to confiscate your property, your hard-earned property? Gold in the lives of mothers and sisters is not for show, it is related to their self-respect. Their Mangalsutra… is not an issue of the price of gold, it is related to their dreams in life. You are talking about snatching it in your manifesto? You are saying that you will take the gold and distribute it to everyone.
Ignoring the tribals
Accusing the Congress party of ignoring the welfare of tribals, Modi said that during its 60 years of rule, the party did not find even a single person from the tribal community who could become the President of the country. Modi said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is dedicated to the welfare of the poor and works with full honesty, but the Congress shop sells only fear, hunger and corruption.
President of the country, of the tribal society
He said, ‘Was there no capacity in the tribal society? …Just think what is the mentality of Congress. In 2014 you blessed this servant. Today the first citizen of this country, the President of the country, is a daughter of the tribal community. This is real partnership. This is the ‘spirit’ of Baba Saheb (Ambedkar).
Separate budget for tribals in Atal government
The PM said, ‘Today, see in all the states across the country where tribal population is high, Congress is either out of power or is at third or fourth position. This is the anger of the tribal community against Congress. There are solid reasons for this anger. Modi said that for the first time during the tenure of the then Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, a separate ministry was created for tribals… a separate budget was made.
Free ration to the poor in Corona
Referring to the Corona epidemic, Modi said, ‘There was pressure on me… These big people sitting in Congress consider themselves knowledgeable… Economists from all over the world used to put pressure on me, give money, give money to industrialists… otherwise it is very big. There will be a storm, the economy will collapse, people will lose their jobs, people will die of hunger… I did not listen to a single thing they said, did not give a single rupee to any rich man. If I gave, I gave free ration to the poor.
Sarcasm on Sonia Gandhi
PM Modi took a dig at Congress leader Sonia Gandhi becoming a Rajya Sabha member from Rajasthan, saying that those who cannot win elections have come to Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan by ‘running away from the field’. It is known that former Congress President Sonia Gandhi is among the MPs who were elected as Rajya Sabha members from Rajasthan in February. Many veterans of Congress were not fielded in this Lok Sabha election. However, the party has rejected speculations that he was shying away from contesting the elections.
Rajasthan gave equal punishment to Congress
Pointing towards the first phase of voting in Rajasthan, he said, ‘In the first phase of voting, half of Rajasthan has given equal punishment to Congress. He has been taught the same lesson. Rajasthan, full of patriotism, knows that Congress can never make a strong India. The country does not want such a Congress government. The country does not want the situation that existed before 2014 to return.
Congress is its own culprit
PM said that can such a weak state make the country strong? You tell me, can the symbol of instability, the Congress party and its clan, run the country? The Congress Party itself is guilty of the condition it is in today. The Congress, which ruled for 60 years, has made our mothers and sisters yearn for small things like toilets, gas, electricity, water, bank accounts.
Hollowed out the country by spreading the termite of corruption
PM Modi further said, ‘This same Congress has hollowed out the country by spreading the termite of nepotism and corruption and today the country is punishing the Congress for these sins and especially the youth of the country are so angry that they will not speak to the Congress again. Wants to see.’
Opportunistic ‘Indie Alliance’
Taking a dig at the opposition alliance ‘India’, Modi said, ‘They have formed an opportunistic ‘Indi Alliance’. His kite was cut before it could fly. There is an alliance so to speak, but in many states these alliance members are fighting among themselves. In this Lok Sabha election, there are 25 percent seats in the country where people from this alliance are contesting against each other.
