JAIPUR:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during an election rally in Rajasthan, hit out at the Karnataka government over the incident of a shopkeeper being brutally beaten for playing Hanuman Chalisa at his shop.
He also reiterated that the Congress manifesto promised redistribution of wealth among ‘infiltrators’. PM Modi added that after his speech, “Congress ko mirchi lag gayi” (sarcastic way of saying that they were offended).
Charged that it is difficult to follow one’s faith under Congress rule, PM Narendra Modi told a public gathering in Tonk-Sawai Madhopur, “Even listening to Hanuman Chalisa becomes crime under Congress rule. Rajasthan has been its sufferer…For the first time on Ram Navami this time, Shobha Yatra procession was taken out in Rajasthan. In a state like Rajasthan where people chant Ram-Ram, Congress banned Ram Navami.”
His remarks come on a day when the country is celebrating Hanuman Jayanti.
Referring to the ‘redistribution of wealth’ remarks made by him at a rally in Rajasthan’s Banswara on Sunday, the prime minister said it has angered the Congress and INDI Alliance so much that they have started “abusing” Modi everywhere “I have put forth the truth before the country that Congress is hatching a deep conspiracy to snatch your wealth and distribute it among the ‘select’ people,” he said at a rally in Tonk.
“Two-three days ago, I exposed this vote bank politics of Congress as appeasement politics; this has angered Congress and its INDI Alliance so much that they have started abusing Modi everywhere,” he said while asking “why the Congress is scared of the truth and hiding its policies”. “It is written in their manifesto that they will survey the wealth. Their leader had said in a speech that X-ray of wealth will be done,” he said, adding, “When Modi exposed the secret, your hidden agenda came out and you are trembling”.
