Spent their lives concealing sins of Cong: PM's jibe at 'Khan Market gang'

Addressing a public meeting in the national capital, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the “Lutyens gang” and the “Khan Market gang” of having spent their lives concealing the sins of the “utterly communal Congress” from the nation.

He also accused them and all their current allies of perpetrating the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.
 

Appealing to the people to vote for a “strong government” and a “strong PM”, Modi reiterated his charge that Congress intended to reserve 15 per cent of the country’s resources for minorities that its governments allotted government land to the Waqf Board. The Prime Minister asserted that the party was committed to giving priority to minorities in granting bank loans, government tenders and even ensuring entry of athletes on their religion.
 

“The Khan Market gang says that the minorities have the first right on the country’s resources,” the PM said.
 

The PM said he has been exposing the Congress and its alliance partners’ designs with facts, which has left the “Khan Market gang” and “their ecosystem” with only one option, that of screaming that “Modi is doing Hindu-Muslim” politics.

In the context of the 1984 riots, the PM appealed to his “Muslim brothers” to understand the “true nature” of the opposition alliance.
 

He also accused the Congress of “openly indulging in communal conspiracies” after the regional parties “usurped” its “Muslim vote bank”.
 

Modi also brought up Wednesday’s Calcutta High Court order of striking down the OBC status of several classes in West Bengal, which he said was a “slap on the face” of the state government and its effort to rob Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and OBCs.
 

In a reference to the Aam Aadmi Party, the PM spoke of its “corruption”. Modi also made a reference to the Rs 9,000 crore worth of currency, liquor, and other freebies intended for influencing voters, which has been seized by enforcement agencies after the model code of conduct came into force. The PM added that the INDIA bloc was extremely "communal, casteist and nepotistic".

Addressing the rally in Dwarka, he said the BJP's development model is committed to 'nation first' but for the Congress and the INDIA grouping, the only agenda is 'family first'.
 

"The country also understands that if by mistake any vote is cast in the favour of the INDI alliance, that vote is not going to be of any use to the country. Every vote given to BJP will strengthen the resolve of 'Viksit Bharat',” he added. 

That is why this huge sea of people is also saying in one voice 'Phir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar'," he added.

Will set up ‘karza maafi’ commission: Rahul Gandhi

In his first election meetings in Haryana, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said that when the INDIA bloc would come to power on June 4, debts of farmers in Haryana and other states will be waived, adding, “We will bring a ‘karza maafi’ commission.” He also mentioned a legal guarantee on MSP.
 

“Whenever Haryana farmers need their debts waived, the commission will tell the government and it will be done. When they can waive Rs 16 lakh crore for industrialists, why can we not help farmers, labourers and the poor," he asked.

“We had brought the land acquisition bill to protect farmers and give them due compensation, but the Modi government scrapped it.” 

They brought three black farm laws and farmers had to take to the streets," the former Congress president said at a rally in the Bhiwani-Mahendragarh Lok Sabha constituency.
 

At another rally in the Sonipat parliamentary constituency, Gandhi claimed that the BJP would change the Constitution if it came to power again.He claimed that the Modi government waived loans amounting to Rs 16 lakh crore for 22 "arabpatis (top industrialists)" but openly says it "won't waive farmers' debts as it will spoil them".
