PM Modi again rakes up Manmohan Singh's 2006 speech, says Cong does appeasement politics

Prime Minister Narendra Modi again raked up former prime Manmohan Singh's 2006 speech to claim that Congress indulges in vote bank politics to appease certain sections of the society, and ignore others.

While delivering a speech in Rajasthan's Tonk region, Modi also raked up the issue of redistribution of wealth while attacking Congress, saying that they have intentions to seize people's assets for their own gain.

"When the Indian constitution was being written, there was opposition to reservation based on religion so that SC/ST community's access gets secured. But Manmohan Singh said (in 2006) that Muslims have the first right to India's assets. This was not an isolated speech. Congress has always indulged in appeasement politics.

"You must have read Congress manifesto. In that, they talk about redistributing wealth. They said that they will also survey your mangalsutra. Then one of their leaders said an X-ray would be done."

"Their leader publicly said it. And then they said that they will seize all of your excess property and distribute them to other people."

He further said that the Congress party indulges in appeasement and vote bank politics.

"Congress party’s ideology has always been that of appeasement and vote bank politics. In 2004, when Congress formed the government at the Centre, one of the first things they did was to include Muslims in the SC/ST quota in Andhra Pradesh. This was a pilot project that the Congress government wanted to implement across the country. Between 2004 and 2010, they tried to implement a Muslim reservation four times but could not because of legal hurdles and an alert Supreme Court," he said.
