PM Modi breaking unity of the country: Kharge

NEW DELHI: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday slammed the prime minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party, saying he is leaving no stone unturned to “break” the unity of the country.

Speaking at a public meeting at the national capital here, Kharge said, “Narendra Modi is leaving no stone unturned to break the unity of the country. Our fight is against the hatred spread by them, for which political power is very important.”

He said,”In the last 11 years, BJP has continuously tried to weaken the Constitution, constitutional institutions and democracy. Attempts were made to suppress the voice of the opposition. Restrictions were imposed on the media. Journalists were put in jail. BJP leaders openly started demanding 400 seats to change the Constitution”.

“We have to stay united and protect the Constitution and democracy. If the Constitution and democracy are not saved, then our share and participation will also not survive,” Kharge said.

"In such an environment, Rahul Gandhi took out a yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and then from Manipur to Mumbai. These yatras made the issues of the public the issue of the Congress Party. Made it the issue of this country. And today all of you have gathered here at this historic Ramlila Maidan, because these issues have not ended even today",Kharge said.

Attacking the BJP, the Congress chief said, “BJP only talks about morality, but does immoral things. Sometimes it steals votes from EVM and sometimes elected MLAs. Sometimes it steals your pension and sometimes it steals the MSP of farmers. Many times complaints are received that even after the elections, 99 per cent battery was left in the EVM, and sometimes thousands of votes were cast in an hour. Therefore, it is very important that we come together to save democracy.”

On Caste Census, he said, “When Rahul Gandhi ji talked about Caste Census, Narendra Modi said- we are talking about breaking the country. But, we are not talking about uniting the country.”

Kharge, who is also the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha asserted that Caste Census will reveal who has how much participation and stake, so that better work can be done for them.
