Modi claimed the Congress, when in power at the Centre, had drawn up plans to allocate 15 percent of the total budget to minorities.  

“When I was the Chief Minister (of Gujarat), the Congress had brought up this proposal to earmark 15 percent of the budget for Muslims.  The BJP opposed this move strongly and hence it could not be implemented.  But the Congress wants to bring this proposal again.  “he told the gathering.

The PM asserted Ambedkar was against religion-based quota, but the Congress wants to take away reservation rights of SCs/STs/OBCs and give them to Muslims.  “Modi is the chowkidar (watchman) of rights of deprived sections of society and will never let the Congress take away their rights , ” the BJP stalwart declared. 

Modi said the ongoing Lok Sabha polls are about electing a prime minister who takes strong decisions for the country.

In the last 10 years, the PM said, his government has provided free ration, water, electricity, houses and gas connections irrespective of religion.  “Welfare schemes are made for everyone,” he maintained.

Without naming NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar, Modi said, “An INDI alliance leader from Harashtra knows the Congress is losing badly (in elections).  So, he has suggested that small parties merge with the congress so that it atleast stands as an opposition party.” “when the duplicate Shiv Sena (referring to Sen UBT) merges with the Congress.  I will remember Balasaheb Thackeray because the late leader dreamt of a grand Ram mandir in Ayodhya and abolishing Article 370.” he added.  (Maxim News)
