Cong wants to make Hindus second-class citizens, says Modi

- PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

PRIME MINISTER Narendra Modi Friday alleged that the Congress is “anti-hindu” and its track record is of “loot, appeasemen­t and dynasty politics”.

Modi, who addressed election rallies in Hyderabad and Mahabubnag­ar Lok Sabha constituen­cies in Telangana, said “those who opposed CAA, UCC and those who talk of ‘vote jihad’ will be defeated on June 4” when the results of the Lok Sabha polls are declared.

He said the India is now the world’s fifth largest economy. “This is the track record of Modi. What is the track record of Congress? It is loot, appeasemen­t, dynasty first, softness on terrorists,” he said.

Recalling that bomb blasts used to take place in the country 10 years ago, he said such terror attacks don’t take place now. He also recollecte­d the bomb blast at Dilsukhnag­ar in Hyderabad in 2013. The bomb blasts stopped with the formation of a strong government in Delhi, he said.

"But, Congress and INDI alliance do not like this. Some forces want to remove Modi for the bloodshed to start again in the country," he alleged.

Targeting the Congress on reservatio­ns, Modi termed the national party as “anti-hindu” and said it knows religion-based reservatio­ns are unconstitu­tional. “Congress wants to make Hindus second-class citizens in their own country,” he claimed.

Referring to Rahul Gandhi as ‘shehzade’ (prince), he said the Congress leader started off with ‘mohabbat ki dukaan’ which lost steam as elections approached.
