NEW DELHI: Keeping his ante against Congress a day after Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir assembly election results, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday once again targeted Congress for its defeat and accused the grand old party of deliberately creating a " fear psychosis " among Muslims . Speaking at an event in which he laid foundation stone for several development projects worth over Rs 7,600 crore in Maharashtra via video conference, PM Modi said that Congress uses divisive tactics time and again to target Hindu community through caste-based politics but avoids any mention of caste divisions within the Muslim community. "They keep bringing formulas to divide society.
Congress never refrains from misleading the voters. The Congress's strategy is clear: keep scaring the Muslims, show them fear, and strengthen their vote bank . Not a single Congress leader has ever mentioned the different castes within our Muslim brothers.
When it comes to Muslim castes, Congress leaders remain silent," he said. Citing the recent election results in Jammu & Kashmir and highlighting BJP 's re-election in Haryana for the historic third consecutive term, PM Modi called it the "the mood of the nation". "Just yesterday, the election results for Haryana and J&K were announced.
Haryana has shown the mood of the nation. Being elected for a third consecutive term after completing two terms is historic," he said, adding that the efforts by Congress and "urban Naxals" to mislead the public were thwa.
