PM Modi In Jharkhand: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack at the Congress saying that the spectacles that grand old party wears it can only see the "Muslim vote bank" and everyone has suffered because of this. Speaking at an election rally in Jharkhand's Lohardaga, the Prime Minister also said that on the other hand the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) doesnt discriminate and talks about 'Sab ka sath, sab ka vikas'.

"Congress jo chashma pahanti hai usme ek hi vote bank dikhta hai, aur wo hai Muslim vote bank'. Everyone has to suffer because of this policy of Congress. The BJP talks about 'Sab ka sath, sab ka vikaas'. The BJP's policies doesn't discriminate against anyone, but Congress doesn't want to do this. You see what kind of games the Congress is playing. The members of the I.N.D.I.A bloc are planning to rob the reservation granted to SC, ST, and OBC," PM Modi said.

The Prime Minister was speaking at a poll rally in Gumla's Sisai to campaign for the saffron party candidate Samir Oraon from the Lohardaga Lok Sabha seat. During the rally, he said the NDA government has “unmasked” corrupt forces, and all those who indulged in corruption would face action under law in the next five years.

Hitting out at jailed former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren without taking his name, PM Modi said leaders of the Congress and the opposition INDIA bloc take out rallies in support of the corrupt.

"The former Jharkhand CM is behind bars for corruption; Modi is committed to wipe out the menace. In the next five years, all those who indulged in corruption will face legal action," he said, as quoted by PTI. “The INDIA bloc leaders, neck-deep in corruption, hold rallies, including in Delhi and Ranchi, voicing support for corrupt people, which reveals their true character,” the PM said.

PM Modi also blamed the Congress for the “backwardness” of tribal districts, alleging that food grains used to rot in godowns during the UPA regime from 2004 to 2014, while tribal children died due to starvation. “No force on earth can stop free ration delivery to the poor, this is Modi's guarantee,” the prime minister asserted, as quoted by PTI.
