PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday yet again accused the Opposition of engaging in caste-based politics and fostering societal discord. He urged the people to resist such divisive attempts and safeguard the shared cultural and social fabric of villages.
In a veiled attack on the Opposition, the PM denounced their "continued demand" for a caste census and expressed concern over attempts to weaken rural unity.
He emphasised that while his government's policies have energised rural areas, some forces are actively sowing "poison" to disrupt harmony.
"We must thwart these conspiracies and protect the common heritage of our villages," Modi said, reaffirming his administration's commitment to ensuring a dignified life for rural communities.
Speaking at the inauguration of the "Grameen Bharat Mahotsav," the PM accused the previous governments of neglecting rural India. "For decades, they ignored rural India. Even years after independence, villages were deprived of basic necessities. Our government, however, is empowering rural areas and prioritising those left behind," Modi asserted.
