Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that Congress wants to change the Constitution to snatch reservations from SCs, STs and OBCs, and hand it over to those who indulge in “vote jihad”. “If Ambedkar was not there, Nehru would not have allowed reservation for SCs and STs,” the PM said.

He made the remarks while addressing an election rally in Bihar’s East Champaran Lok Sabha constituency.

PM Modi also said that the INDIA bloc stood for corruption, appeasement politics and a “perverted anti-Sanatan mindset”, all of which would receive a “big blow” when the Lok Sabha poll results are announced on June 4.

“The nation cannot move forward with the sins of the INDIA bloc, which stands for corruption, appeasement politics, represents the ‘tukde-tukde’ gang and a perverted mindset that heaps scorn on Sanatan Dharma,” Modi said.

“This is the reason why the INDIA bloc was exhausted in the very first phase of the elections. In the subsequent phases, it was battered. In the remaining two phases, the trend will continue and on June 4 when votes are counted, the results will come as a big blow to the intentions of the opposition alliance,” he added.
