PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday sharpened his attack on the Congress, saying, it is difficult to follow one’s faith under the party and again accused it of hatching a deep conspiracy to snatch people’s wealth and distribute it among “select” people. Reffering to the ‘redistribution of wealth’ remarks made by him at a rally in Rajasthan’s Banswara on Sunday, the Prime Minister said it has angered the Congress and I.N.D.I. Alliance so much that they have started “abusing” Modi everywhere. “I have put forth the truth before the country that Congress is hatching a deep conspiracy to snatch your wealth and distribute it among the ‘select’ people,” he said at a rally in Tonk. “Two-three days ago, I exposed this vote bank politics of Congress as appeasement politics; this has angered Congress and its I.N.D.I. Alliance so much that they have started abusing Modi everywhere,” he said while asking “why the Congress is scared of the truth and hiding its policies”.

 

“It is written in their manifesto that they will survey the wealth. Their leader had said in a speech that X-ray of wealth will be done,” he said, adding, “When Modi exposed the secret, your hidden agenda came out and you are trembling”. The Prime Minister also charged that it is difficult to follow one’s faith under Congress rule. “Even listening to Hanuman Chalisa becomes crime under Congress rule,” he said. His remarks come on a day when the country is celebrating Hanuman Jayanti. PM Modi also asked what would have happened if there was a Congress Government at the centre after 2014. “In 2014, you allowed Modi to serve in Delhi. Then the country made decisions that no one had even imagined. But think about what would have happened even after 2014 and even today if there was a Congress Government in Delhi. Had Congress been there, stones would have been pelted at our forces in Jammu and Kashmir even today. Had Congress been there, the enemies would have come from across the border. Had Congress been there, neither One Rank One Pension would have been implemented for our soldiers nor would our ex-servicemen have received Rs 1 lakh crore,” he said.

 

Further, sharpening his attacks, PM Modi said that the thinking of Congress has always been of appeasement and vote bank politics. “As soon as the Congress Government was formed at the Centre in 2004, its first task was to reduce the reservation for SC/ST in Andhra Pradesh and give reservation to Muslims. This was a pilot project, which Congress wanted to try in the entire country. Between 2004 and 2010, Congress tried to implement Muslim reservations in Andhra Pradesh four times. But due to legal hurdles and the awareness of the Supreme Court, it could not fulfil its plans,” PM Modi said.
