Polls slipping from Modi’s hands, he will do some drama in 4-5 days: Rahul Gandhi

The Congress leader also held an election rally in Telangana during the day. Speaking in Medak, he said the Lok Sabha elections are a fight between two ideologies. “On one side are the INDIA alliance, including Rahul Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge, and your chief minister A Revanth Reddy, and on the other side are those who want to change or destroy the Constitution. We will not allow anyone to tamper with the Constitution, and we’ll sacrifice everything to defend it. Narendra Modi and Amit Shah have made policies which benefit 20-25 people. Their policies are to privatise every institution and every company, and this is aimed at removing reservation. Modi and Shah are doing everything to remove reservation. However, we will increase the reservation over 50 per cent,” he said.

“We will bring revolutionary changes in politics. Just like Telangana is undertaking a caste census, we will conduct a country-wide caste census and the results will surprise everyone. In this country, only 2 or 3 per cent people rule, have all the wealth, and control the country, the politics and the government. This caste census will bring out the truth. It will tell us how many are the real socially and economically backward people. If we combine the socially backward people, the Dalits, adivasis, minorities, then these communities are in the majority in the country, but they have no stake in anything,” he said.

“Modi has given away all ports, airports and other projects to Adani. Our aim is not to make a few people crorepati, our aim is to make crores of poor people lakhpatis. We will conduct a survey of poverty and identify those families. Every woman in that family will receive Rs 1 lakh every year – Rs 8,500 per month. We have to protect reservations, we have to protect the public sector, we have to protect farmers and poor people. We have to protect the Constitution. Nafrat ke bazaar mein mohabbat ki dukan kholni hai (we have to open a shop of love in the marketplace of hate),” he said.
