In a recent public meeting in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a series of allegations against the Congress party. The most significant among them was the claim that the Congress has reallocated the reservation for Other Backward Classes (OBC) in Karnataka to Muslims.
PM Modi was quoted as saying, “Congress has snatched OBC reservation in Karnataka and given it to Muslims.” He further added that the Congress intends to “change the constitution and implement this rule across the country.”
The Prime Minister also criticized the Samajwadi Party (SP), accusing it of betraying the backward classes by remaining silent on this issue. He alleged that these parties are appealing for ‘vote jihad’ against him, a term that has been controversial in the political discourse.
These statements have stirred up a storm in the political arena, with many waiting for a response from the Congress party. The implications of these allegations on the political dynamics of the country are yet to be seen.
