Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of provoking people to instigate riots. He said people should vote for Mr. Modi only if they wanted slavery and imposition of ‘Manuwadi’ ideology.
“If Modi comes to power, then the BJP and the RSS will change the Constitution, destroy democracy and end reservation. If you want Manuwadi ideology and permanent slavery, then vote for Modi. He is not talking about unemployment and inflation, but is focused on Hindus and Muslims. His work is to provoke people and instigate riots,” Mr. Kharge said while campaigning in Samastipur for Congress candidate Sunny Hazari. Mr. Hazari is locked in a direct contest with Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) candidate Shambhavi Kunal Choudhary.
Mr. Kharge said the 2024 election is important to save democracy and the Constitution. “The right to vote is not given by Narendra Modi or Amit Shah, it is given by Mahatma Gandhi, Rajendra Prasad, Ambedkar, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. There is no contribution of the BJP for the country. Have they ever fought, have they ever gone to jail,” he asked.
