PM Modi invokes Rajasthan's ‘Sanatan’ to attack INDIA: ‘They will be uprooted’
As PM Modi attacked the INDIA alliance at a rally in poll-bound Jaipur, he touched upon local issues like paper leak to corner the Gehlot government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday addressed the Parivartan Sankalp Mahasabha in poll-bound Rajasthan's Jaipur and accused the Gehlot-led Congress government of wasting five years of the youth of the Rajasthan. "I can clearly see that the Congress will lose in Rajasthan and the state will vote for the BJP," PM Modi said. Talking about Chandrayaan, G20, the new Parliament building, PM Modi asked, "Who brought the women's reservation bill?". To the chants of the people, PM Modi said, "Your answer is wrong. I did not do anything. Your one vote brought the change."
“The Congress could bring in the women's reservation bill 30 years ago. But it never happened because the Congress never wanted that. The Congress and the Ghamadiya alliance are against women's reservation. My sisters of Rajasthan, always remember this and be careful,” PM Modi said. Invoking Rajasthan's Sanatan heritage, PM Modi said the Ghamandia alliance will have to pay the price for trying to destroy Sanatan. "Rajasthan will be teaching a lesson to the Congress and the INDIA alliance not in this election, but in every election. They will be uprooted," PM Modi said.
Cornering the Gehlot government, PM Modi referred to the paper leak incidents and said the Congress government could not take any action against that. “But soon the BJP will come and the suffering of the youth will stop,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi has spoken on the Sanatan controversy several times after Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin compared Sanatan Dharma with dengue, malaria and said Sanatan needs to be eradicated; merely opposing is not enough. While Udhayanidhi defended his comment and maintained that he spoke against caste-based society. The INDIA bloc distanced itself from the controversy while DMK chief and Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin asked his party members to exercise restraint on this issue.
