Modi warns of SP-Cong's Karnataka plan for state

Lucknow: PM Narendra Modi projected Congress-governed Karnataka as a cautionary tale for UP during an impassioned outreach to backward castes in the Samajwadi Party's stronghold of Etawah on Sunday. He warned that left to its own devices, INDIA bloc would issue an "overnight fatwa" like Congress did in Karnataka to grant OBC status to Muslims, violating the constitutional premise that there would be no reservation based on religion.

"SP and Congress want to snatch reservations from SC/ST/OBC and distribute them on the basis of religion. What would the Yadavs, Mauryas, Kushwahas, Lodhis, Pals, etc. do if the same were to happen in UP?" Modi said, urging voters to treat it as "an alarm bell". The PM, canvassing for BJP candidates in Etawah, Mainpuri, and Kannauj, pointed out that Akhilesh Yadav's SP didn't give a ticket to any Yadav other than members of the party's first family.

Modi said "rampant nepotism" in SP and Congress was like an "evil" that must be destroyed. "Some consider Mainpuri, Kannauj and Etawah as their fief, while others treat Amethi and Rae Bareli as theirs," he said, contrasting it with how he and UP CM Yogi Adityanath had no familial bonds to nurture other than with the people, especially the underprivileged.
