Congress stealing quota from SCS, STS, OBCS to give it to Muslims: Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the people of Telangana were feeling ashamed to find ‘RR Tax’ under the Congress government in the state, when a super-hit movie, ‘RRR’, from the Telugu film industry had brought great praise for them.
“The RR Tax is the subject of discussion at every corner. Contractors and industrialists have been forced to cough up the ‘RR Tax’ by back-door means. This black money is routing to Delhi and the Telangana people are worried and aware of such black deeds,” he said.
In an all-out attack on the Congress at a huge public meeting in Chilver under Zaheerabad Lok Sabha limits, Modi said the Congress’ hand symbol symbolised five evils — false slogans and false promises, vote bank politics, promotion of criminals and mafia, parivarwaad (family) politics, and corruption.
“When the world was marching ahead, the Congress landed the country in corruption with policy paralysis. The NDA government, with a lot of difficulty, pulled out the country from the mess. The Congress once again wants to take the country in the same old way,” Modi said, adding that the NDA government had taken many decisions to put the country back on track.
Modi said that people had seen how a decisive and strong government scripted history by fulfilling 500year-old dreams of Hindus by constructing the Prabhu Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. When he asked people who did it, people responded by shouting “Modi Modi.”
Modi responded saying: “The vote from each one of you enabled the construction of the Ram Temple. The vote from each one of you empowers our commitment.” The Prime Minister also pointed out that the Congress government in Telangana state had put a number of restrictions and tried hard to prevent the Shobha Yatra on Rama Navami festival for its vote bank politics for the sake of votes from a section of people.
“When the Congress was elected with a record number of MLAS and MPS in the united Andhra Pradesh in 2009, the party instead of strengthening BCS, SCS and STS, took away their constitutional rights and extended the same to Muslims and made the state their laboratory,” he said. When 26 castes, from the Marathas to the Lingayats, were seeking inclusion in the OBC list, the Congress was not interested in their demand, but included Muslims in the OBC list, Modi said.
Stating that he would continue reservations for Dalits, Adivasis and OBCS till he was alive, Modi repeated thrice that “Modi will not allow giving reservations to Muslims.”
Charging that the Congress was spreading lies about reservations, Modi asked its leaders why they did not support the demand for social justice of the Madiga community.
“Why have they not supported the categorisation of SC reservations,” he asked and reiterated his commitment for the genuine rights of the Madiga community.

Revanth Reddy’s dig at Modi using the donkey’s egg attracted instantaneous response from people. The Chief Minister alleged that Modi has given a ‘chembu’ (empty pitcher) to Karnataka, matti (sand) to Andhra Pradesh and a big donkey’s egg to Telangana.
Referring to Modi’s Tuesday’s public meeting at Zaheerabad, Revanth Reddy said Modi has promised nothing to the state. "Modi neither told the people what he did for Telangana in the past 10 years nor did he tell people what he wants to do for Telangana in the next five years. He confined himself to cheap politics and uttered lies," he said.
Revanth Reddy also came down heavily against BRS chief K. Chandrashekar Rao, who sought votes in Khammam by stating that BRS candidate Nama Nageswara Rao would become Union minister if they vote for him.
“How can N become a Union minister? Does KCR want to say that he will join the Union government led by the Congress or the BJP? On the one hand, KCR says the Congress will not get even 40 seats. On the other hand, he says his party MP will become the Union minister. This means KCR wants to join the Bjp-led government. This itself is proof that he has a secret pact with Modi,” Revanth Reddy said, adding, “Even if KCR wants to join the Congress-led government, we will not allow him to.”
Revanth alleged that Modi and home minister Amit Shah were conspiring to end reservations and their slogan of “Ab Ki Baar 400 Paar” was to enable this. “As soon as elections are completed, Modi will announce a surgical strike on Dalits and other weaker sections.”
“In the 10 years of ruling, Modi has done nothing for Telangana and not even fulfilled the promises that were given by the UPA government in 2014 at the time of bifurcation of Telangana,” he said.
