Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday, claimed that the opposition INDIA bloc is contemplating 'one year, one PM' formula to resolve their leadership issues and said the world will ridicule such an arrangement. He said there is clarity in the BJP over leadership, unlike the INDIA grouping.
Addressing an election rally at Harda under the Betul Lok Sabha seat in Madhya Pradesh, Modi asked if voters were ready for "five prime ministers in five years" formula and called it a dangerous game by the opposition alliance.
He also spoke on the Congress's alleged plan to redistribute wealth by what he called "snatching properties of people" and added that an advisor to the party's 'shehzada' (a reference to Rahul Gandhi) has now suggested imposing an inheritance tax.
Modi was referring to remarks by Sam Pitroda, president of the Indian Overseas Congress, who talked about the inheritance tax law in the United States while answering a query on the redistribution of wealth issue.
Modi said the Congress hates SCs/STs/OBCs to such an extent that it wants to give reservation provided to them in jobs and education to its "most loved community".
Speaking about the issue of leadership in the opposition grouping, Modi said, "People should know to whom INDIA alliance leaders want to hand over the reins of the country. It is clear in the BJP that it is Modi, but what about them? There have been media reports that a discussion is going on among INDI alliance people over 'one year, one PM' formula. That means one PM in one year, second PM in the second year, third PM in the third year, fourth PM in the fourth year, fifth PM in the fifth year...They are busy auctioning the PM's chair."
Modi claimed that the Congress can go to any extent to please its vote-bank, and spoke about "wealth redistribution and inheritance tax" issues to target the main opposition party.
"If anyone has more than one car, motorcycle or house, it will be confiscated if a Congress-led government assumes office," Modi claimed.
Modi said their vote has ensured that Indian economy jumped from the 11th spot to the 5th place in ten years and a grand Ram temple was built in Ayodhya after a wait of 500 years.
The PM claimed that when a Congress-led government was formed at the Centre, they first introduced religion-based quota in Andhra Pradesh. "Then the Congress was not completely successful in its plan. But the Congress still wants to play that game," he stated.
Modi said to dilute reservation for OBCs in Karnataka, the Congress government in the state has included Muslims under that category. "This action of the Congress is an alarm bell for the OBC communities of the entire country," he cautioned.
Modi accused the grand old party of constantly trying to erase B.R. Ambedkar's contributions and snatch reservation from SCs/STs/OBCs. "The Congress wants to snatch reservation from SCs/STs/OBCs and give it to its special vote-bank," he said.
He further accused the Congress of doing vote-bank politics in the name of secularism and "killing" the idea of social justice.
