Aligarh: BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi onSUnday attacked Congress and Samajwadi Party saying that they are indulging in vote bank politics and “misleading” Muslims.
He also sought to blame Gandhi and Yadav for the communal clashes, saying. “700 riots took place right under the nose of Madam Soniaji in the last one year and 250 of them took place right here under Netaji (Yadav) in Uttar Pradesh.”
“In a recent speech, Madam Soniaji talked about the 15-point programme for developing 90 Muslim-dominated districts in the country of which 15 are in UP. But when an MP asked about the work under the project, Soniaji’s UPA government said not a single paise has been spent in last one year. This is an example of misleading the Muslims and people,” he said.
The BJP leader sought to suggest that the state of Muslims under his rule in Gujarat was better than compared to other non-BJP states, saying central government figures “show that among the urban Muslims, there are 50 per cent poor in UP whereas the figure is 60 per cent in Bihar. In Gujarat, the figure is only 14 per cent.”
Modi accused the Congress of being against bringing black money stashed in foreign banks saying, “If we come to power, we will bring back every single paise of black money and use it for the development and welfare of poor.”
