PM Modi: Cong and SP want to take away OBC rights, says PM Modi | Agra News

Agra/Bareilly/Shahjahanpur: Prime Minister Modi on Thursday endorsed the Congress-Samajwadi Party alliance in three assembly polls in UP – Agra, Bareilly and Shahjahanpur. “They want to take away the rights of OBCs like Yadav, Kurmi, Maurya, Kushwaha, Jat-Gujjar, Rajbhar, Teli and Pal and give them to their ‘preferred vote bank’,” Modi said at the Kothi Meena Bazaar premises in Agra. , where he addressed the first meeting. “The SP, for its own gain, is betraying Yadavs and backward classes. This appeasement-based mentality defines both the SP and the Congress, which aim to covertly redistribute OBC rights… Do you want to let go of your properties to the corrupt SP-Congress alliance? he asked the crowd. Again invoking the term ‘chowkidar’, which he had used extensively in the 2019 LS polls, the Prime Minister said, “They have their eyes on the savings of our mothers and sisters, but I stand as your watchman. (chowkidar)… ‘Jab tak Modi zinda hain, aisa koi bhi paap karne se phele apko Modi se nipatna padega’…” “Corrupt individuals will be investigated, and the money they stole from the poor will be returned to them. We are seeking legal advice on how to recover the looted money, including bungalows and vehicles seized from these corrupt individuals,” he further said. During his 39-minute speech in Agra, Modi took extensive aim at the opposition. “Whether it is in Karnataka or Andhra, the Congress has been consistently pushing for religion-based reservations. Despite constitutional and legal limitations, it is committed to pursuing this agenda. Their strategy involves redistributing the OBC quota, as seen in Karnataka, where all Muslim castes were included in the OBC category. , adding that he himself comes from an ‘OBC background’. Modi further claimed in Agra that the “Congress-SP and the ‘INDI alliance’ are planning to impose a 55% tax on inheritance tax”. He added: “They claim they will examine your assets using the Congress Prince’s X-ray machine, confiscate everything and redistribute it. They take up a significant portion of what you leave for your children. If you build a four-room house, only two rooms will go to your children, the rest will be taken up by the Congress SP. Likewise, if you own ten large tracts of land, only five will be inherited by your children. They will even bring women’s ‘mangalsutra’. Are you willing to transfer your property to them?” Incidentally, Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda, who is also a close confidant of the Nehru-Gandhi family, had sparked a controversy on Wednesday with his comment on “inheritance law in the US”. The Congress later distanced itself from Pitroda’s comment. During his 28-minute speech at Bareilly’s Aonla, Modi alleged, “Before I came to power, the UPA government tried to create religion-based reservation in UP. That didn’t work at the time, now they (the Congress and the SP) are trying to do the same.” At Shahjahanpur, his third rally in UP, the Prime Minister appealed to the new voters and said, “Before I came to power, announcements had been made at railway stations, bus stations and on TV that if you see anything unclaimed, bag, Don’t touch it anywhere because there was a fear that there might be a bomb in the unclaimed things and so the government had to tell this to the people every day. After 2014, have you ever heard such information?… It is the power of your voice that has stopped major explosions when you voted for the right people.”
