Modi slams Opposition, calls it adulterated alliance, club of rich people

Current Affairs:

Hitting out at the opposition alliance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said why they were coming together to fight him even as they claim his government was a failure.

Modi, addressing a rally after inaugurating a slew of projects, called the opposition alliance an "adulterated alliance" and a "club of rich people" to promote a dynasty.

Slamming the 'mahagathbandhan', Modi alleged nobody knows the agenda of the opposition alliance and they don't have worthwhile answers to any question. "The only answer they have for all the questions is 'ask Modi'," he said.

Alleging that the opposition was good at spreading panic and misleading the youth, farmers and other sections of society, the Prime Minister said for a long time the opposition parties had created discord in society on the issue of social justice.

"For us, social justice is an article of faith and not a mathematical formula, the way it is for the opposition parties," he said, adding it was the NDA government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee that restored reservation in promotions for SC/STs, a privilege that was scrapped by the Congress-led UPA government at the Centre earlier.


 On his government's decision to provide 10 per cent reservation to the economically backward sections, Modi said the move was aimed at equality of opportunities to all and would not affect the existing reservation for SC/STs and Other Backward Classes.
