Modi addressed a gathering in Belagavi

Congress forms political alliances with parties who praise Aurangzeb: Modi

BJP alleged that Rahul Gandhi insulted the Rajput community

Ahead of the third phase of polling which will take place on May 7th, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has planned to address voters in many parts of North Karnataka wherein voting will take place. 

Modi took a sharp dig at Indian National Congress (INC) leader Rahul Gandhi while addressing a gathering in the Belagavi district of Karnataka. “Shehzada (Prince) of Congress says that the kings of India were atrocious. They snatched the assets of the poor as per their wishes. The Shehzada of Congress has insulted great personalities like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Rani Chinamma, whose good governance and patriotism still motivate us. Does the Shehzada not know the contribution of the Mysuru Royal family, whom we all are proud of? But the Shehzada does not say a word about the atrocities committed by the nawabs, nizams, sultans, and badshahs… Congress does not remember the atrocities committed by Aurangzeb who destroyed thousands of our temples. Congress forms political alliances with parties who praise Aurangzeb. They do not talk about all those who destroyed our pilgrimage sites, looted them, killed our people and killed cows,” Modi said.

Earlier a remark by Rahul Gandhi in which he stated that the Congress was in the forefront in India’s battle for independence before which kings would seize land as per their will was projected by the BJP as being against the Rajput community.
