“That means the property will be distributed among those who have a large number of children… and among the intruders. Is it acceptable to you?” the PM Modi says during a campaign rally in Rajasthan
Taking a dig at the Congress’ promise to address the inequality of wealth and income in its manifesto for the Lok Sabha election, PM Modi on Sunday said the Congress, if elected to power at the Centre, would distribute people’s property, land and gold among Muslims. “The Congress has [already] declared that Muslims have the first right to the country’s resources,” Mr. Modi said.
PM Modi:
Addressed public meetings in support of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates in Rajasthan’s Jalore and Banswara constituencies, both of which will go to the polls in the second phase on April 26. While BJP State executive member Lumbaram Choudhary is the party’s nominee in Jalore, the party has fielded Congress turncoat and veteran tribal leader Mahendrajeet Singh Malviya from Banswara.
Mr. Modi said the Congress had announced that it would conduct a survey to find out the property of individuals, gold owned by women, silver mostly owned by tribal families, and land and cash belonging to government employees and others, and redistribute it. “Can you tolerate the government snatching your hard-earned money and property?” he asked.
While the Congress manifesto has promised to make “suitable changes in policies” to address the growing inequality of wealth and income, party leader Rahul Gandhi said in Hyderabad earlier this month that the Congress, if voted to power, would carry out a financial and institutional survey, after the caste census, to ascertain the distribution of wealth among the people in the country.
Mr. Modi said the then Congress Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had stated in 2006 that Muslims had the first claim on the country’s resources. “That means the property will be distributed among those who have a large number of children… and among the intruders. Is it acceptable to you?” he asked.
The Prime Minister said the “urban Naxal” ideology of Congress would even deprive the women of their auspicious mangal sutra. “Gold jewellery of my mothers and sisters is not just for show. It is a matter of their self-respect. Congress has stooped to such a level. How can you tolerate your hard-earned money going in the hands of intruders?” Mr. Modi said.

Taking a swipe at the Congress-Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) alliance in Delhi, Mr. Modi said the ‘shahiparivaar’ (royal family) of the Congress would not cast votes for its own party in the national capital for the first time. As the Congress has not fielded its candidate from the New Delhi Lok Sabha seat, Mr. Modi asked what right the party had to seek people’s votes elsewhere.
“In Banswara, Congress leaders are going door-to-door, asking people not to vote for their own party,” Mr. Modi said, in an oblique reference to the party’s candidate, Arvind Damor, refusing to withdraw his nomination after it decided to extend support to Bharat Adivasi Party candidate Rajkumar Roat. Mr. Damor’s presence in the fray has caused embarrassment to the Opposition Congress.
Mr. Modi said the nation was punishing the Congress for its “sins” as the party, which had once won 400 seats in Lok Sabha, was unable to find candidates and contest even 300 seats this time. The Congress had also been unable to find a single tribal person who could be the country’s President during the 60 years of its rule, he said.

Without directly mentioning the former Congress president, Mr. Modi remarked that those who couldn’t contest and secure victory in elections had opted for the Rajya Sabha route from Rajasthan. This alluded to recent developments, including the election of Ms. Gandhi as a Rajya Sabha Member from the state. Additionally, Mr. Modi commented on the absence of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who, despite being elected to the Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan, had been unwell for a considerable period and rarely seen in the state.
The Prime Minister emphasized the BJP’s dedicated efforts towards uplifting the underprivileged with sincerity and commitment. He contrasted this with what he described as the Congress’ reliance on fear, hunger, and corruption for political gains. Mr. Modi highlighted the historical trend of the Congress intimidating Dalits, tribals, and minorities, perpetuating a culture of fear and oppression. He concluded by urging the public to support BJP candidates in the upcoming elections.
