A recent election rally in Banswara, Rajasthan, PM Modi made bold claims against the opposition party Congress. He suggested that Congress, if elected, would redistribute the nation’s wealth unfairly, Muslims and particularly those he described as “infiltrators” and large families.
The Prime Minister referenced a statement made by former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2006. Singh had mentioned that minorities, especially Muslims, should have priority access to the nation’s resources to ensure equitable participation in development.
Modi interpreted this statement as an indication that Congress would misallocate the country’s wealth to specific groups.
Modi’s comments sparked considerable controversy. The opposition party accused him of misleading the public and deflecting attention from more pressing national issues.
