Ahead of assembly elections, PM Modi warns of opposition’s caste politics

Ahead of the assembly elections in Jharkhand and Maharashtra, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday alleged that some people were trying to divide society for their vested interests. The Prime Minister was addressing a gathering in Gujarat’s Vadtal on the 200th anniversary of Shree Swaminarayan Temple.

Apparently referring to Congress, PM Modi emphasised that India needs to be united against its national enemies to make it a developed nation by 2047. He claimed that there is a conspiracy going on to divide society on the basis of caste, religion, language, high and low, men and women, villages and cities. 

He further added that it is important that they understand the seriousness of this attempt by the national enemies, understand the crisis, and that they all have to defeat such an act together.

Notably, his warning comes after the Congress-led Opposition’s echoed their demand for a caste census. With less than a month left for the assembly elections, the Prime Minister has intensified his attack on the Congress, accusing it of creating a rift along caste and religious lines.

Earlier while campaigning for the Maharashtra election, PM Modi gave the slogan of ek hain, toh safe hain,  meaning together, one is safe. In Maharashtra’s Dhule, from where he began his election campaign for the assembly polls in the state, PM Modi said the Congress’s sole agenda was to pit one caste against another. 

Also, this remark followed days after Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi echoed his pledge to conduct a caste census. PM Narendra Modi mentioned that the Congress cannot digest the progress of scheduled castes, tribes and other backward classes.

The Prime Minister claimed that dividing castes and tribes is the biggest conspiracy against India, adding that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi opposed OBC reservations. He continued that at present the opposition are dividing the castes within OBCs, underlining that they need to maintain unity.

Addressing another election rally, PM Modi amplified his attack, alleging that Congress hated OBCs as it could not form a government on its own after OBCs united in the 1990s.

The Prime Minister said that during the Congress rule, OBCs were not united, mentioning that OBCs got reservation only when the Congress was out of power. He also pointed out that as soon as the OBCs were united, the ultimate effect was Congress lost its simple majority in the country.

Delhi Assembly elections: BJP promises free education and student aid, AAP raises concerns

Arvind Kejriwal addressing media after writing to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on BJP’s alleged electoral misconduct

As Delhi gears up for the upcoming assembly elections on February 5, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released the second installment of its election manifesto, promising comprehensive solutions to citizen issues and tackling misgovernance and corruption allegations against the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

The manifesto, dubbed ‘sankalp patra,’ includes significant pledges such as free education from pre-school to postgraduate levels for needy students at government institutions, and a financial package comprising Rs 15,000 and travel reimbursements for young individuals taking entrance exams. Scheduled Caste students enrolled in technical and professional courses are also promised a monthly stipend of Rs 1,000.

Building on their first manifesto which targeted women voters, the BJP’s latest promises focus on the youth, with over 1.5 lakh set to benefit from a new skills training program. This release follows criticisms by AAP of the BJP’s approach, especially after the tragic incident last July where three civil service aspirants lost their lives due to flooding.

Anurag Thakur, former Union Minister, emphasized the ‘Modi ki guarantee’ assurance, stating these initiatives would be implemented swiftly if the BJP is elected. The manifesto also includes welfare measures for domestic workers and insurance schemes for auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers, who have traditionally been a strong support base for AAP.

In response, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal critiqued the BJP’s plans, particularly highlighting a clause that, according to him, would limit free education to only “eligible” children, deviating from AAP’s policy of universal free education. Kejriwal also recalled BJP’s earlier statement on discontinuing free healthcare, framing these promises as a threat to the financial stability of Delhi’s households.

The AAP’s counter-campaign warns voters that electing BJP could lead to increased living costs and bureaucratic hurdles in accessing education and healthcare, urging the electorate to consider these factors carefully. With the election results due on February 8, both parties continue to vie for public favor through promises aimed at key demographics.
