Prime Minister Narendra Modi has slammed the Congress party for dividing the society in the name of caste and uniting its vote bank through appeasement, saying that Rahul Gandhi has struck a deal in Kerala’s Wayanad to give Muslims reservations if he is voted as an MP.
“… The media should ask a question. Has a deal been struck in Wayanad, promising Muslims to give reservations in favour of making Rahul Gandhi win the seat of Wayanad?” he said in an interview with TV9 Bharatvarsh.

PM Modi also hit out at the Congress over their allegations on the saffron camp on altering the constitution if voted to power, saying that it’s the grand old party that has used the Constitution for acquiring power and vote bank politics.
“Congress is spreading lies claiming that the BJP will change the Constitution of India. If you look at the history of Congress, you’d see they don’t believe in the sanctity of the Constitution… ” he said.
Poll campaign in 2014 vs now:
While talking about the campaigning in 2014 elections versus now, the prime minister said that earlier, the BJP-led NDA was fighting against a coalition from the ruling party, which had all the government sources but they were striving to secure their seats. People relied on Narendra Modi’s development model and had expectations. But in the 2019 polls, those expectations turned into trust because of Modi’s hard work and performance, and that trust has now turned into a ‘guarantee’.

He further alleged that the TMC government in the state is not ready to listen to the pain of women, and that’s why the BJP has made common woman, a candidate. “We gave a ticket to Rekha Patra, an ordinary woman from West Bengal. The TMC govt is not even ready to listen to the pain of women. Nari Shakti will give a befitting reply to the oppression going on in Bengal by a woman on Nari Shakti…” he said.
