‘Flop pair of do ladkon ki jodi’: PM Modi takes dig at alliance of Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav in UP

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took a dig at Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav, who have joined hands for Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, describing them as flop pair of “Do ladkon ki jodi.” The Prime Minister, who did not take the names of the two, alleged that their friendship is based on “politics of appeasement.”

“Can you expect development from flop pair of ‘Do ladkon ki jodi’,” PM Modi said at an election rally in Uttar Pradesh as he accused them of wanting to snatch the rights of the OBC through the back door.

“The friendship between the two boys in UP is based on politics of appeasement. Both talk of the OBC in their speeches but they want to snatch away their rights from the back door and strengthen their (own) vote bank,” he alleged.

“The Congress government in Karnataka has overnight turned all the Muslim castes in Karnataka into OBCs by stamping a paper and told them to become the owners of this 27 per cent and loot it. They have robbed the rights of the OBCs. The Congress intends to play the same game in UP, to perform the same feat, wherever they get a chance in the country, they want to secretly rob the rights of the OBCs, SCs, and STs from the back door and give them away. And in this, the Samajwadi Party is also fully supporting them,” PM Modi said.

“SP and Congress want to snatch the rights that are granted to these communities by the Constitution and give it to their vote banks. For the vote bank, Samajwadi Party is betraying Yadavs and backward communities. Both Congress and SP are drenched in appeasement politics and have similar thinking. In speeches, they talk about OBC, but through the back door, want to give their rights to their vote banks,” the Prime Minister said.

Prime Minister Modi renewed his ‘Mangalsutra’ attack and said under the rule of Akhilesh the ‘mangalsutra’ of our mothers and sisters were not safe as criminals would snatch them when they stepped out of their houses. On the other hand, the ‘Congress prince’ has announced plans to take away the ‘mangalsutra’ and redistribute them.
