PM Modi In Jharkhand: Prime Minister Narendra Modi went all out against the opposition on Tuesday, ahead of the final phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. The Prime Minister, who was in Dumka, Jharkhand, launched a scathing attack on the I.N.D.I.A. bloc, saying that the people of the opposition give reservations to Muslims based on religion.
While addressing a public rally in Dumka, PM Modi asserted that till the time he is alive, no one will be able to snatch the reservations of tribals, Dalits, and backward classes.
"People of the INDI Jamaat give reservation to Muslims on the basis of religion... I want to tell the people of I.N.D.I alliance that as long as Modi is alive, you will not be able to snatch away the reservation of Tribals, Dalits, backward classes and extremely backward classes and give it to Muslims, to those who do 'vote jihad'," the Prime Minister said.
The seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha polls are set to be held on June 1. During the seventh phase, 57 Lok Sabha constituencies across eight states and UT will go to the polls. The voting will take place in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Odisha, West Bengal, Jharkhand, and Chandigarh.
During the rally in Dumka, the Prime Minister alleged that the JMM and Congress were indulging in "rampant loot" and vowed that action against corruption would be intensified in the country after June 4.
"A big crisis looms over Jharkhand and that is infiltration. The Santhal Parganas is facing the challenge of infiltration. In many areas, the population of tribals is declining fast and the number of infiltrators is on the rise. The infiltrators are grabbing tribal lands. Tribal daughters are the target of infiltrators. Their security and safety are at risk. Their lives are also at risk," PM Modi said.
