GG News Bureau
Janjgir, Champa, 1st May. In a recent rally in Chhattisgarh’s Janjgir-Champa district, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge delivered a scathing critique of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rhetoric, accusing him of disproportionately targeting Muslims and neglecting the economic factors influencing childbirth rates among the poor.

Kharge lambasted PM Modi for what he perceived as a diversionary tactic, suggesting that the Prime Minister’s sudden emphasis on “Mangalsutra and Muslims” stemmed from a sense of frustration over potential opposition gains. He alleged that Modi’s rhetoric was an attempt to sway public opinion away from pressing economic concerns facing the nation.

Speaking in support of Congress candidate Shivkumar Dahariya, Kharge highlighted the disparity between Modi’s rhetoric and the ground realities of poverty. He emphasized that economic hardship often leads to larger family sizes, challenging Modi’s insinuation that only Muslims have more children.

Drawing from personal experience, Kharge revealed his own family’s struggles, recounting how poverty and tragedy shaped their lives. He underscored the need for inclusive development policies that uplift all communities, rather than divisive rhetoric that pits one group against another.

Kharge also refuted PM Modi’s claims regarding Congress’s intentions, dismissing allegations of wealth redistribution and cultural intrusion. He questioned the veracity of Modi’s statements, pointing to Congress’s long history of governance without resorting to such measures.

Furthermore, Kharge criticized the Modi government’s handling of critical issues such as demonetization and the COVID-19 pandemic. He alleged that the government’s policies exacerbated existing inequalities and failed to provide adequate support during times of crisis.

The veteran Congress leader warned against the dangers of divisive politics, urging voters to prioritize unity and safeguard democratic values. He reminded the audience of Congress’s contributions to the nation’s progress, contrasting it with what he perceived as the current government’s shortcomings.
