Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the NDA Government has “unmasked” corrupt forces, and all those who indulged in corruption would face action under law in the next five years. Hitting out at jailed former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren without taking his name, Modi said leaders of the Congress and the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc take out rallies in support of the corrupt. “The former Jharkhand CM is behind bars for corruption; Modi is committed to wipe out the menace. In the next five years, all those who indulged in corruption will face legal action,” he said at a poll rally in Gumla’s Sisai to campaign for BJP candidate Samir Oraon from the Lohardaga Lok Sabha seat. “The INDIA bloc leaders, neck-deep in corruption, hold rallies, including in Delhi and Ranchi, voicing support for corrupt people, which reveals their true character,” the PM said.

 

‘Congress, JMM, and RJD want to rob reservation of tribals, backward classes’: Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated on Saturday that Congress, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) aim to snatch reservation from tribals, backward classes, and Dalits and give it to Muslims, adding that he won’t allow even a shred of reservation based on religion. Addressing an election rally in Jharkhand’s Palamu, Prime Minister Modi said, “These parties now want to snatch away the reservation of SC-ST-OBC. When our Constitution was being drafted, it was unanimously decided that reservations would never be granted in India based on religion. But now, Congress-JMM and RJD collectively want to rob the reservation of tribals, backward classes, and Dalits and give it to Muslims based on religion.Congress makes this announcement, but JMM and RJD remain silent, thereby giving their tacit approval.” The Prime Minister asserted that he would not allow any party to tamper with the Constitution.
