Modi Criticizes Congress for Divisive Politics

Following the BJP's significant victory in the Haryana Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized the Congress party for allegedly employing divisive tactics to consolidate power among Hindus while ignoring the diverse castes within the Muslim community. During a virtual rally inaugurating development projects in Maharashtra worth over ₹7,600 crore, Modi accused Congress of using a 'divide-and-rule' strategy to foster conflict among Hindus for electoral advantage. He claimed that Congress's approach is to exploit caste divisions and maintain a fear-based vote bank among Muslims, which he described as detrimental to national unity. Modi also lauded the BJP's welfare schemes for the Dalit and OBC communities, asserting that these initiatives have garnered significant support in Haryana. The Prime Minister emphasized that the Congress party's tactics have been thwarted by the public's awareness and trust in the BJP's governance, which he contended has led to a historic third consecutive term for the party. This marked Modi's third attack on Congress's alleged divisive politics in just ten days, indicating a strategic focus as elections approach in Maharashtra.
