INDIA snatching quota to aid those who do ‘vote jihad’: PM

On the day polling in eight seats in Bihar was going on, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 25 addressed three public meetings in Bihar, including one in Patliputra Lok Sabha constituency, and assured Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Class people that he would not let anyone snatch their share of reservation. “Our Constitution says no reservation can be given on the basis of religion but this INDI alliance people have snatched the SC/ST/ OBC reservation and gave it to their vote bank who do vote jihad,” Mr. Modi said at his first public meeting held at Bikram in Patliputra Lok Sabha constituencywhere BJP leader and two-time sitting MP Ram Kripal Yadav is contesting against Misa Bharti, the elder daughter of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad. Further, Mr. Modi also assured people that in the next five years, everyone, irrespective of being poor or rich, would get “free electricity”. “Nitish Kumar-led NDA government has brought development in Bihar but we’ve to do more development in the State in the next five years.” “This election is to choose the country’s PM,” Mr. Modi said and asked: “India needs a PM like?”, and he responded himself, “Bharat ko aisa PM chahiye jo damdar ho, desh ka dum duniya ke samne dum-khum ke saath rakh sake )”. Slamming the RJD, Mr. Modi said: “This is an age of LED bulbs and what is the need of lanterns which spreads light only in one house but has spread darkness in whole Bihar.” “Modi is working hard 24X7 for viksit Bharat but, on the other hand, the Opposition INDI alliance leaders have no work — some of them are in jail, some outside, they engage themselves only in abusing Modi day and night,” he said.
