Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (April 21) said that the Congress, if voted to power, could distribute the nation’s wealth among “infiltrators” and “those who have more children”.

Addressing an election rally in Rajasthan’s Banswara, he said, “Pehle jab unki sarkar thi, unhone kaha tha ki desh ki sampati par pehla adhikar Musalmano ka hai. Iska matlab, ye sampati ikatthi karke kisko baatenge? Jinke zyada bacche hain, unko baatenge, ghuspaithiyon ko baatenge. Kya aapki mehnat ki kamayi ka paisa ghuspaithiyon ko diya jayega? Aapko manzoor hai yeh? (Earlier, when they (the Congress) were in power, they had said Muslims have the first right to the wealth of the nation. This means they will distribute this wealth to those who have more children, to infiltrators. Should your hard-earned money be given to infiltrators? Do you agree to this)?”

The prime minister warned that the Congress’s “urban Naxal” ideology could even lead to the deprivation of women’s auspicious mangalsutra. He emphasised the significance of gold jewelry for mothers and sisters, not just as adornment but as a matter of their self-respect.

Expressing concern over the Congress’s actions, he questioned how people could tolerate their hard-earned money ending up in the hands of intruders.

Political analysts are saying that this no-holds-barred attack on Muslims from a person who has been the prime minister of the country for a decade comes from sheer frustration and a deep sense of defeat. The BJP must have felt the heat of the people in the first phase of elections, for which, the 2002 Gujarat riots orchestrator has yet again donned his ‘polarisation suit’ to get people to rally for him.
