RJD Cheated SC, ST, OBC People in Garb of Social Justice: PM Modi
In a scathing attack on the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused them of cheating people belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) communities in the name of social justice. Addressing a rally in Bihar, PM Modi warned that these parties are again trying to usurp powers in the upcoming Assembly election.
The Prime Minister’s remarks come as the Assembly election in Bihar is just around the corner, with the Grand Alliance of the RJD, Congress, and other parties seeking to oust the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) from power. PM Modi, who is known for his sharp rhetoric, did not mince words while targeting his opponents, saying that they have been responsible for the plight of the poor today.
“They are responsible for the plight of the poor today. They cheated the SC, ST, and OBC people in the garb of social justice. They took their votes and then forgot about them,” PM Modi said, as quoted by news agency PTI.
The Prime Minister also accused the RJD and Congress of being anti-poor and anti-development, saying that their policies have only benefited a select few while leaving the majority of the population behind. “The Congress and RJD have been ruling the country and the state for decades, but what have they done for the poor? They have only filled their own pockets,” PM Modi alleged.
PM Modi’s remarks are likely to be seen as a fresh attempt to polarize the voters in Bihar, where the caste factor plays a significant role in elections. By targeting the RJD and Congress, PM Modi is trying to appeal to the influential OBC and SC communities, which are a crucial vote bank in the state.
The Prime Minister’s attack on the RJD and Congress is also seen as a counter to the RJD’s own campaign, which has been focusing on the issues of social justice and economic inequality. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has been accusing the NDA government of being anti-poor and anti-Dalit, and has been seeking to capitalize on the resentment among the marginalized communities against the government’s policies.
However, PM Modi’s remarks have also been seen as a desperate attempt to deflect attention from the NDA government’s own failures. The government has been facing criticism for its handling of the economy, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and is struggling to contain the rising prices of essential commodities.
Despite these challenges, PM Modi remains a popular figure in Bihar, and his rally is expected to energize the NDA’s campaign in the state. The Prime Minister’s attack on the RJD and Congress is likely to help the NDA to some extent, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to help the party win the election.
In conclusion, PM Modi’s remarks are a clear indication that the election campaign in Bihar is heating up, with both the NDA and the Grand Alliance trying to outdo each other in a bid to win the hearts and minds of the voters. While PM Modi’s attack on the RJD and Congress is likely to resonate with some sections of the population, it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to help the NDA win the election.
