“Modi is to protect the rights of the deprived sections of society,” PM said.
Providing quota benefits on the basis of religion is against the very values and principles enshrined in our Constitution, he said. As long as he is alive, PM Modi said, he won’t let an “inch” of reservation of Dalits, adivasis and OBCs be taken away based on religion.
“I am not like Congress’ ‘shahi parivar’ but was raised in a poor family. Adivasis and the poor had suffered a lot in terms of lack of access to housing, electricity and water even after 60 years of independence.
Narendra Modi said the Congress knows it cannot match Modi over development. “So it has opened a factory of lies on reservation and Constitution.” Their ecosystem is filled with rumours.
Congress wants to introduce reservations based on religion which is against the Constitution. Making such an attempt is like stabbing the maker of the Constitution in the back,” he said.
In Karnataka, the Congress turned Muslims into OBCs overnight and now it wants to snatch quotes from tribals and Dalits, he said.
“The Maha Vikas Aghadi is running a ‘maha abhiyan’ to finish off quota while I am doing ‘maha rakshan ka maha yagna’ (grand ritual for protection) to save it,” he said.
