Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 5 said Muslims now understand that the Congress and INDIA bloc are using them as pawns, asserting that the community is distancing itself from them after seeing the development carried out by the BJP.
Addressing a rally in support of BJP candidate Rekha Verma in Dhaurahra, Mr. Modi said that the poor and those belonging to the SC, ST and OBC communities have also come to the BJP.
"Muslim brothers and sisters are seeing that (houses under) PM housing scheme were given to all the needy. Be it water connection or gas cylinder under Ujjwala Yojana, every government benefit was given to all...they (Muslims) are also getting benefits of all schemes without discrimination," Mr. Modi said.
