NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday continued his onslaught against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and claimed that Dalits, tribals and poor will be reduced to slaves like treatment if BJP comes to power for third term.
Addressing a rally in Maharashtra’s Dhule constituency, Kharge said, “Before Independence, the poor, Dalits and tribals were treated like slaves.If you give a third term to Modi and Shah, the same situation will repeat. We will become slaves again.”
“You have to vote for your own sake and your own people. We need to save the Constitution. This election will shape the future of the country, thus it is an important election,” he added.
Appealing to the voters to save democracy and the Constitution, Kharge claimed that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat also supports that constitution should be changed.
“RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had said in 2015 that the Constitution should be changed. Later, many BJP MPs and saffron party leaders also made similar statements,” he said.
“If there is no Constitution, there will be no one to save you,” he added.
During his speech, Kharge also accused PM Modi of ‘spreading lies’ and accused him of not delivering his promise about bringing back black money from abroad.
Modi chest-thumped about bringing back black money from abroad but never delivered on that promise, said Kharge.
“He claimed to provide two crore jobs every year but never did. Instead of increasing farmers’ income, as per his claims, his wrong policies increased the production cost for growers. That is why Modi should be removed from power,” Kharge added.
Dhule in north Maharashtra will go to polls in the fifth phase of the general elections on May 20. Congress has fielded Shobha Bachhav from this while former Union minister Subhash Bhamre is in the fray from BJP.
