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.

No 'bacterial infection' found in bodies of 4 Mumbai family members who died after eating watermelon
Mumbai (PTI): The initial report submitted by the microbiology department of a Mumbai-based state-run hospital has said no "bacterial infection" was detected in the bodies of four family members, who died after consuming watermelon recently, officials said on Wednesday.
The Dokadia family, residents of Ghari Mohalla on Ismail Kurte Road, had hosted a get-together of relatives on the night of April 25. At around 1 am (on April 26), hours after the guests had left, Abdullah Dokadia (40), his wife Nasreen (35), and daughters Ayesha (16) and Zaineb (13) ate pieces of a watermelon.
They suffered severe bouts of vomiting and diarrhoea in the early hours of April 26 and were rushed to a local hospital before being referred to the government-run J J Hospital where all four died during treatment.
After the incident, Mumbai police, forensic experts and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials visited the house and had collected samples of every food item that constituted the family's last meal, including 'chicken pulav', watermelon, water, and other foodstuffs, and sent them to the Forensic Science Laboratory for analysis.
After the post-mortem of the deceased, their viscera was preserved for chemical analysis.
As the probe is underway, the microbiology department of the state-run J J Hospital has submitted its initial report to the police.
"As per the report, no bacterial infection has been detected so far in the bodies of the victims. No bacteria was found in their blood," the official said.
The exact cause of the death will be known once the forensic science lab submits its report, he said.
"The report will also clarify whether any food items consumed by the family members during the day contained anything poisonous," the official said.
