A Call for High Voter Turnout and a Warning Against Congress' Redistribution Plans
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Aligarh on Monday, urging voters to turn out in large numbers for the upcoming elections. He also launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing them of harboring plans to redistribute the country's wealth if voted to power.
Modi claimed that the Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, intends to seize and redistribute people's property, including their homes and gold, if they win the election. He compared this policy to the "Maoist and communist thinking" that has ruined many countries.
The Prime Minister also highlighted his government's achievements in improving the security situation in the country, contrasting it with the days of frequent bomb blasts and border shelling during the Congress rule. He urged voters to remember these improvements and vote for the BJP.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, addressing a rally in Chhattisgarh, countered the Congress' claim that minorities have the first right over the country's resources. He asserted that the BJP believes the poor, Adivasis, Dalits, and backward communities have the first right to the nation's resources.
The Congress party has responded to Modi's allegations by accusing him of making divisive and malicious statements targeting a particular religious community. They have urged the Election Commission to take action against him for violating the model code of conduct.
