Congress 'royal family' bent on breaking social unity: PM
Hindustan Times|November 11, 2024
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, accusing its "royal family" of orchestrating a conspiracy to divide tribal communities and ultimately eliminate reservations for Scheduled Tribes (ST), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Other Backward Classes (OBC).

Congress 'royal family' bent on breaking social unity: PM

Speaking at campaign rallies in Gumla and Chandankiyari ahead of the upcoming Jharkhand assembly elections, Modi painted a picture of a Congress party threatened by unified backward communities and working actively to undermine their solidarity.

"The Congress knows that if STs, SCs and OBCs are united, they will pose a threat to the party's existence. This is the reason the Congress 'shahi parivar' is hell-bent on breaking their unity... They want to snatch reservations," Modi declared at the Gumla rally.

The Prime Minister specifically accused the Congress of attempting to create divisions within tribal communities, stating, "The Congress is trying to pit one tribal community against another... Munda against Oraon, Lohra against Kharia, Kharwar against Korwa etc. with an agenda to break the tribal society's strength."

The stakes are high in Jharkhand, where elections for the 81-member assembly will be held in two phases on November 13 and 20, and comes after an unexpected BJP victory in Hary ana.
