‘What Manmohan Singh Would Be Thinking’: PM Modi Shreds Congress Over Caste Census

During his address in Jagdalpur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi weighed in on a recent political debate regarding resource allocation and minority rights in India. He referred to the Congress party's slogan "jitni aabadi utna haq" (the population determines the right) and questioned its implications, particularly in contrast to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's stance on minority rights. PM Modi raised concerns about whether the Congress was shifting away from Manmohan Singh's perspective of granting minorities the first right to resources. He pondered whether the Congress intended to diminish minority rights or exclude them altogether. In a rhetorical twist, he suggested that, if population size determined resource rights, should the Hindu majority, being the largest demographic, claim all rights? The Prime Minister's comments hint at a larger political debate surrounding resource distribution and the evolving dynamics within the Congress party. His assertion that the party is "outsourced" highlights a perceived shift in its leadership and direction.
