BJP PM candidate Narendra Modi charged that the "Congress, SP and the BSP do “vote bank politics and sing songs of secularism. What they do is just talking. They only talk of secularism but their politics is all about keeping all classes poor through their politics.”
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.”
He joked on Congress president Sonia Gandhi and said,“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 in a rally here.
He said the Congress and the SP “only talk about secularism. They can neither provide development nor security to the people and they have no right to be in power even for a second.”
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.”
INDIA HONEST regrets that in spite of best efforts, this election many paries are neglecting the people's need of growth, job and development and polarising the election being fought on communal - secular lines.
The million $ question is " will the distressed and frustrated people of nation teach a lesson to these corrupt leaders" ?
