KULLU/SHIMLA: Accusing a “communal, casteist and nepotist” Congress of pushing Sharia under the guise of seeking to retain Muslim personal law, PM Narendra Modi pledged Friday that BJP would implement the proposed Uniform Civil Code (UCC) across the country.
“There should be a uniform civil law for all, regardless of whether you are a Hindu, a Muslim, a Sikh, a Christian or a Buddhist.But Congress is opposing UCC. Congress also opposes CAA and talks about bringing back Section 370…This nation will be built by sons of the soil and not those who have received everything as inheritance,” Modi said at a campaign rally in Mandi, where BJP has fielded actor Kangana Ranaut.
The PM said Congress’s stand on critical issues reflected its intention to keep India wallowing in poverty and take it backwards.
‘Ensured 10% EWS quota’: Modi takes swipe at Congress
For 60 years, Congress did not even think that there were poor people in the general category who needed reservation. Modi came and ensured 10% reservation for them,” he said.
The PM alleged that a conspiracy had been hatched to snatch reservations from SCs, STs and OBCs and distribute these among Muslims, just as Congress had already done in Karnataka.
Referring to Calcutta HC’s order this week invalidating OBC certificates based on new classifications in Bengal since 2010, he said another opposition figure — CM Mamata Banerjee — had already refused to honour the ruling.
In Himachal Pradesh, Congress govt didn’t even distribute central funds sent during the monsoon disaster last year in a fair manner, he said. Modi, who also addressed a rally in Nahan, said he would inquire into it after the polls.
“I sent hundreds of crores to Himachal but the money was spent selectively. The first thing I will do (on returning to office) is… find out who stole the money, dig it out and then hand it over to the people. Mark my words. This (Congress) govt has no future.”
The PM said that the mountains of Himachal had taught him to hold his head high with pride. “I cannot tolerate any insult to Mother India. But Congress has a problem with saying ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, and Congress has a problem with saying ‘Vande Mataram’. Such a Congress can never do any good to Himachal.” Modi hailed candidate Kangana as someone who “represents the belief that girls can choose newer fields and become successful”. “But Congress’s thinking is parochial. You have all seen the way Congress politicians use derogatory language while speaking about Mandi and Kangana. This is an insult to Mandi, to Himachal and to all the women of the state,” he said.
