'Congress intention is to loot reservation, give it to Muslims', says PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday targeted the Congress and I.N.D.I.A bloc for making false statements that reservation will be scrapped if NDA wins 400 seats saying it's completely a fabricated lie adding this time they will be limited to fewer seats than last time. Cornering the 'Grand Old Party', PM Modi said that the intention of the Congress party is to loot reservations and give them to Muslims.

Addressing a poll rally in Banaskantha's Deesa, PM Modi said, "In 2024, the Congress and I.N.D.I.A bloc has come up with a lie... Their eco-system is pushing that lie. They are saying that the reservation would be withdrawn. It is a completely fabricated lie... This time they will be limited to fewer seats than last time..."

"I.N.D.I.A bloc is doing just anything out of nervousness. They opened a 'Mohabbat ki Dukan' and now they have opened a market of fake videos in it... They are spreading fake lies through fake videos. They don't have any truth to speak even after staying in power for 60 years... Their 'Mohabbat ki Dukan' is a fake factory... Congress' video, slogans, promises, and intentions are all fake... The fake videos may mislead people for some time but you will be punished for it... We already had the power of 400 in the Parliament in the last 5 years. But we did



not commit the sin of withdrawing the reservation...," the Prime Minister said.

"The reservation for the SC, ST, OBC and economically backward of the general category will never be looted... Your (Congress) intention is to loot the reservation and give it to Muslims. I challenge the Shehzada of Congress to declare that they will never misuse the reservation based on religion... They will not declare this because there is something suspicious. The BJP will protect the reservation given to the SC, ST, OBC and economically backward of the general category... They want to snatch away the reservation for their vote bank... They should give a written declaration that they will not give reservation on a religious basis," PM Modi said.

Taking a dig at Congress, PM Modi further said, "If you want to form a government, then at least 272 seats are required. Except for the BJP, no political party in the country is contesting 272 seats, and then they are saying they will form the government. Even the royal family of Delhi is not going to vote for Congress... There is no Congress candidate where they vote... Ahmed Patel's family in Bharuch will not vote for Congress... A big Congress leader who votes in Bhavnagar, will not be able to vote for Congress. This is the condition of the Congress..."
