Lok Sabha Elections 2024: According to Rajnath Singh, PM Modi avoids religious politics and strives for a one society

Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Rajnath Singh drew attention to the fact that previous Congress-led governments had formed a number of commissions. These committees suggested allocating 6% of the 27% quota for OBCs to Muslims and 2% to other minority populations.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh threw his support behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying at a Greater Noida election rally that Modi has always avoided using social or religious divisions for political gain. In support of this claim, the defense minister cited former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's 2006 suggestion to provide Muslims access to quota privileges. Referencing Dr. Singh's argument supporting the minority community's preferential access to the country's resources, PM Modi reiterated the previous PM's stance and warned against any possible economic transfer to Muslims under a Congress-led administration.

PM Modi accused the Congress of wanting to shift the people's hard-earned money and properties to "infiltrators" and families with more children while speaking at a rally in Banswara, Rajasthan. At a meeting in Bisahda village, Greater Noida, the defense minister, meanwhile, chastised the opposition for undermining Prime Minister Modi's authority at this pivotal juncture of the Lok Sabha elections.

In addition, the minister of defense emphasized his longtime friendship with the prime minister and their cordial connection. He said that PM Modi, whether a Hindu, Muslim, or Christian, has never entered politics on the basis of religious affiliation. Singh reaffirmed that Modi has never divided society in order to further his political agenda.

PM Modi said in particular that the Congress party's platform included a plan to survey properties. "If it's explicitly mentioned in the manifesto, why should there be objections?" said the guy. What fundamental goal do these property surveys aim to achieve? Is achieving a fair distribution of the country's resources the goal? What precisely is their goal? ". The seasoned BJP politician went on to demand that the Congress make clear where it stands on the matter.

"India's prime minister at the time was Dr. Manmohan Singh Ji. Even now, Dr. Manmohan Singh ji remains a great admirer of mine. At the December 9, 2006, National Defence Council meeting at Vigyan Bhawan, Manmohan Singh personally said that the Muslims, in particular, had the fundamental claim to this country's property.

Singh drew attention to the fact that previous committees, created by the Congress-led government in the past, had suggested in their findings that Muslims should get 6% of the 27 percent quota for Other Backward Classes (OBCs), and other minorities should receive 2%.

Singh went on to criticize the Congress, saying, "They didn't stop there." They said that even if a member of the Scheduled Caste switches to another faith, they ought to be able to continue receiving quota advantages. Additionally, the Congress did away with the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe reservations at universities like Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia."

The top BJP official emphasized that the party's goal is not to divide the nation based on caste, religion (Hindu, Muslim, or Christian), or creed. Instead, they want to bring all Indians together and make India a major player in the world.

Singh also chastised opposition parties for making derogatory comments on the unopposed win of a BJP Lok Sabha candidate in Surat, Gujarat. He countered by bringing up the instance of Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav's uncontested win in the 2012 Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, by-election.
