Prime Minister Modi, while addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Sagar, launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing them of harboring a deep dislike for India's constitution and identity. He claimed that the Congress was attempting to undermine the constitution by advocating for reservations based on religion, a move that he asserted was against the principles outlined by BR Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian constitution. Modi highlighted instances where Congress had allegedly promised religion-based reservations in their election manifestos, painting the party as working against the interests of marginalized communities such as SCs, STs, and OBCs.
Furthering his accusations, PM Modi insinuated that Congress's agenda included imposing an inheritance tax that would levy a heavy burden on individuals passing down their hard-earned property to their descendants. He claimed that Congress's alleged plans to scrutinize and redistribute personal assets, including jewelry and homes, were indicative of their desire to control and redistribute wealth. Modi painted a picture of Congress as a party that disregards traditional Indian family values, aiming to seize assets from the populace to bolster their voter base, according to his claims. The PM's rhetoric portrayed Congress as a threat to personal freedoms and property rights, with a dire warning of potential confiscation and redistribution of assets that people have painstakingly accumulated over the years.
