Cong losing support due to unity of SCs, STs, Dalits, Adivasis: Modi
Nanded (PTI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the Congress has been losing its support base over the years due to the unity of SCs, STs, Dalits and Adivasis.
“Congress people are showing a red book labelled 'Constitution of India' with blank pages inside,” Modi said, addressing an election rally at Nanded in Maharashtra.
“Why are the Congress people so much in love with Article 370,” Modi asked, referring to the demand by the opposition party to restore Article 370 in Kashmir.
The red book titled Constitution of India contained blank pages and is a testament to the Congress' disregard and hatred for Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, he said.
“The entire country is in shock over this foolish and unfortunate political play of Congress,” he said.
“Today there is a wave in support of BJP and Mahayuti across Maharashtra,” Modi said. “Today, there is only one slogan on everyone's lips: BJP-Mahayuti ahe, tar gati ahe. Maharashtraachi pragati ahe (Only BJP-Mahayuti will ensure Maharashtra’s speedy progress,” he added.
“Today, the country is moving ahead with the goal of developed India and the people of the country know that only BJP and its allies are working seriously to achieve this goal,” he said.
“That is why the people of the country are electing BJP and NDA governments again and again,” he said.
The people of Maharashtra are going to repeat what happened in Haryana assembly elections, where the BJP won the highest ever seats, he said.
Modi said he is glad that the Mahayuti government is dedicated to empower women in Maharashtra.
“The welcome and acceptance received as regards the 'Mazi Ladki Bahin Yojana' is unprecedented. We are, and will remain committed towards making Nari Shakti (women power) shine more than ever before,” Modi said.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
