BJP national president J.P. Nadda on April 8 released a statement attacking the Congress over its Lok Sabha manifesto, accusing the Opposition party of “reflecting the ideology of the Muslim League” in the document. The statement comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi also raised the same point in public rallies over the weekend.
“I saw the Congress manifesto, I was surprised, is it their manifesto or that of the Muslim League? To divide the country and grab power, to what extent Congress can go, this cannot be predicted,” Mr. Nadda said.
“It was the Muslim League which had talked about reservation on the basis of religion in 1929, the Congress is repeating the same thing. It is difficult to imagine where Congress will take the country in its greed for power. Today, the way there is talk of giving reservation on the basis of religion and the promise of increasing reservation beyond 50%, who is to be benefitted, Congress should make it clear,” he added.
