PM Modi Says Congress & RJD Will Give 'Complete Reservation' To Muslims
PM Modi urged people to vote in large numbers, describing the Lok Sabha Election as a festival of democracy. Large numbers of voters will increase its beauty, he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a public meeting in Hajipur, Bihar, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress are planning to give all reservation to Muslims. Reservation for Dalits, OBCs, and tribals, he added, will be given to Muslims.
PM Modi said, "The priority of RJD, Congress is not you people, but their own vote bank. The person who brought 'Jungle Raj' to Bihar, who has been convicted by the court in the fodder scam, said that reservation should be given to Muslims and that too complete reservation. They want to give reservation of Dalits, backwards, tribals to Muslims..."
He initially said people should vote in large numbers, referring to the Lok Sabha Elections as a festival of democracy. "Large numbers of voters will increase its beauty," he added, saying "your votes towards the NDA-Bharatiya Janta Party will make it the strongest Modi government".

Hitting out at the RJD and the Congress, Modi said, “I guarantee you, as long as Modi is alive, they cannot rob your rights, they cannot snatch away your reservation. That time has gone when you tore the papers of reservation given to women."
Former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav said on May 7 that Muslims should get reservation. Speaking to reporters, he said, "Reservation toh milna chahiye Musalmano ko, pura...)."
PM Modi said the RJD and the Congress, allies as part of the I.N.D.I.A bloc, do not have the will to take Bihar forward. "RJD, Congress does not have the will to take Bihar forward. Vo apne baccho ko set karne mein lage hain (They are busy settling their own children)," he added.
The Prime Minister said that those who vote for the RJD, the Congress or the Opposition alliance, their "vote is sure to be wasted".
"If someone, even by mistake, presses the button for the RJD, Congress or INDI alliance, their vote is sure to be wasted. The people of Bihar are intelligent. So, cast your vote to form the government, cast your vote to build the country, and cast your vote for your future," he said.
When the RJD and the Congress were in power at the Centre, he said, they "seized only Rs 35 lakh in 10 years". "But when the Modi government searches homes of those who looted poor, they found hundreds of crore. “In the last 10 years, Modi has seized Rs 2,200 crore. If that money has to be transported, 70 small trucks will be required," he said.
Praising Chirag Paswan, MP and son of the late former Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, PM Modi said he has a desire to learn and know.
"Chirag had no pride in being the son of Ram Vilas. He is a successful MP. Always has a desire to learn and know. Even in Parliament, they sit the whole day and take part in the proceedings," he said.
PM Modi appealed to the public that Chirag Paswan should get more votes than Ram Vilas Paswan got in Hajipur.
"Chirag Paswan should get more votes than Ram Vilas Paswan got in Hajipur. Only then will Ram Vilas' soul rest in peace. Chirag's victory is the strength of each vote, only that will give tribute to Ram Vilas Paswan. I have not come here to make Chirag Paswan win, because he is going to win. I have come here to repay the debt of Ram Vilas. He has been his best companion," he said.
Part of the NDA, Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will contest five seats, and Jitan Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha of Upendra Kushwaha will contest one seat each.
