No one has the guts to restore Article 370, repeal CAA: Modi

28/04/2024

KOLHAPUR, Apr 27: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said no one has the guts to bring back Article 370 which was annulled by his goverment or repeal the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) passed during his tenure.
Addressing a massive election rally here at Tapovan Ground in favour of Mahayuti backed candidates, Modi, without taking the name of any opposition party, said no outfit or individual has the guts to bring back Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmrr or repeal the CAA enacted by his government.
Attacking the Congress, Modi said Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar had prepared the Constitution, which did not give reservation to any community based on religion. Still, Congress, without giving any respect to the constitution, has given reservation to Muslims in Karnataka as OBC.
He alleged that the Congress wanted to implement this formula at the national level too, which was an "insult" of Dr Ambedkar and his Constitution.
"Karnataka government gives reservation in government services based on religion through the backdoor and gives its benefits to Muslims, compromising the interest of Other Backward Classes (OBCS). If voted to power after the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, the Congress will do the same at the national level," he said.
Continuing to hit out at the Congress, Modi said it would also try to implement its formula of changing chief ministers after two and half years at the national level with the post of Prime Minister. "The Congress had in the past adopted this policy in Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan. They will be giving five prime ministers in five years if they are voted to power in this election," he said.
He announced his government would make three crore women 'Lakhapati Didi' in the next five years when it comes to power for a third straight term by winning the ongoing election. With this scheme, thousands of families and villages of the country ,will progress economically. "To provide security to women as Modi's guarantee," he said.
Modi said at the time of consecration of the Ram Temple in January Congress had refused to accept the invitation, while DMK leaders of Tamil Nadu, who oppose Hindu Sanatan Dharma, are welcomed in Maharashtra by 'Nakali' (fake) Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray.
He alleged that Uddhav Thackeray has participated in the agenda of the Congress and its INDI alliance partners, which was against the interests of the country.
Addressing a rally at Kolhapur in western Maharashtra, Modi said the opposition bloc cannot even reach a three-digit figure or “at the doorstep of forming a government, but has plans to have one prime minister every year if they get a chance”.
“In Karnataka, Congress has planned to rotate the post of the chief minister by handing it to the deputy chief minister after 2.5 years. They had this arrangement in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan as well,” he said.
Modi said the Congress wants to extend the “Karnataka model wherein Muslims were inducted in the 27 per cent quota for OBCs”, in the entire country.
“The Congress-led alliance has vowed to murder social justice,” he said and accused the Congress of stooping low for appeasement and vote bank politics.
“Congress wants to change the Constitution and rob Dalits, OBCs of quota benefits for religion-based reservation,” he said.
Modi said the Congress had not only opposed the construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya but also declined the invitation for its consecration.
Targeting Rahul Gandhi over wealth distribution, Modi said, “The Congress shehzade wants to search your wealth and distribute it to those who the party had said to have the first right on the country’s resources”.
“The Congress wanted to impose inheritance tax and rob people of their inheritance. Such people shouldn’t get even a slight chance of coming to power,” he added.
He said the NDA is leading 2-0 in the first two phases of Lok Sabha elections.
“Kolhapur is known as a football hub. With the second phase of polling completed, I will say the NDA is leading 2-0 while the Congress alliance engaged in anti-India policies and politics of hate has scored two self-goals,” he added.
I am sure voters will score such a ‘goal’ in the third phase that the INDI alliance will be vanquished, Modi said, adding that in the subsequent phases, the INDIA bloc should be handed a resounding defeat.
