New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while campaigning in South Goa on Saturday, launched another blistering attack at the Congress, accusing it of indulging in dangerous vote bank politics. The PM once again alleged that the Congress party wants to snatch away the reservation benefits of SCs, STs and OBCs and give it to its ‘vote bank’, in an apparent reference to the Muslim community.
He alleged that Congress plans to impose a "55% tax on your property."
Taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, who has been calling the caste census a 'National X-Ray', he said "The mystery of the foreign tours of Congress's 'Shehzada' is out. He has brought an X-ray machine from there. He publicly says that after their government is formed, they will conduct an X-ray of the country and they will examine your wealth and distribute it amongst their vote bank".
The Congress, PM Modi said, will loot "you in your lifetime, and also after death".
PM Modi has been claiming that the Congress party would snatch the wealth from the common public and distribute it among "infiltrators" and "those who have more children".
"When their (Congress) government was in power, they had said that Muslims have the first right to the country's assets. This means to whom will this property be distributed? It will be distributed among those who have more children," he said at a rally in Rajasthan earlier this month.
The Congress has accused the prime minister of resorting to "lies" and "hate speech" to divert people's attention from the real issues.
