Addressing the election rally in Rajasthan’s Tonk on Tuesday, the Prime Minister accused the Congress of trying to extend reservation based on religion and give it to Muslims. He also doubled down on his earlier allegation that the Congress has hatched a ‘deep conspiracy’ to snatch people’s wealth and distribute it among a ‘select’ group.  The Congress has denied the charge and said it has no such plan. 

At the Tonk rally, the Prime Minister alleged, ‘As soon as the Congress formed the government at the Centre in 2004, one of the first things it did was to reduce the SC/ST reservation in Andhra Pradesh and give it to Muslims.  This was a pilot project the Congress wanted to try in the entire country.”

“Between 2004 and 2010, the Congress tried to implement Muslim reservation in Andhra Pradesh four times but due to legal hurdles and the awareness of the Supreme Court, it could not fulfill its intention,” he claimed.  “In 2011, the Congress tried to implement it throughout the country.  They played the game of snatching away the rights provided to the SC, ST, and OBC and giving them to others for vote bank politics, he said. 

The Prime Minister also said that when the BJP government in Karnataka got an opportunity, it abolished the Muslim quota created by the Congress government out of the reservation for the Scheduled Castes and Tribes.

Hitting back, Siddaramaiah said the Prime Minister’s claim that the Congress government in Karnataka transferred the reservation quota from Backward Classes and Dalits to Muslims is a ‘a blatant lie”. “it stems from ignorance but also indicative of his desperation born from a fear of defeat.  No leader in the history of our country has ever demeaned the office of the Prime Minister to such a low level, he said in a also posted on X.  (Maxim News)
