Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the ongoing general election is an opportunity for the country to choose a leader who can run a strong government, which “makes the world aware of India’s strength”.
He also repeated his claims that the I.N.D.I.A. bloc wants to make five Prime Ministers in five years and that the Opposition alliance will crumble after June 4.
“We got the Ram temple in Ayodhya after a wait of 500 years. The entire country is happy. Every Indian living across the world is happy. But these parivarvadis (dynasts) are hurling abuses.
The shehzada of the SP and his uncle call the Ram temple useless (bekar),” he said in apparent reference to a recent statement of SP general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav, who had said that the Ram temple has been built in a useless manner but not as per ‘Vaastu’.
Accusing the leaders of the I.N.D.I.A. bloc of advocating reservation on the basis of religion, he said, “They advocate reservation on the basis of religion. They want to take away the right of reservation of the SCs, STs and OBCs by changing the Constitution of the country.”
Repeating his assertion of not allowing religion-based reservations, Modi said, “As long as I am alive, they will not be able to take away the reservations of the OBCs, SCs and tribal people. As long as I am alive, I will not let them do this politics.”
