whirlwind tour of poll-bound Madhya Pradesh by recalling former prime minister Manmohan Singh’s comment, made nearly 12 years ago, that minorities had the first right on resources.
BJP chief Amit Shah on Thursday began his whirlwind tour of poll-bound Madhya Pradesh by recalling former prime minister Manmohan Singh’s comment, made nearly 12 years ago, that minorities had the first right on resources.
“When Narendra Modi became the prime minister, his first sentence was this government is of the tribals and poor, but Manmohan Singh used to say minorities have the first right on resources,’’ the BJP president said while addressing his first rally in tribal-dominated Badwani.
He will address a series of rallies and participate in road shows over the next seven days. He also accused the Congress of not paying respect to tribal “heroes” and worshipping only one family. Shah said Congress president Rahul Gandhi was suffering from Modi phobia because “no matter what, he sees Modi everywhere”.
