Lok Sabha 2024: Taking a swipe at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his recent statement that the “system aligned against the lower castes,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the Congress party of having “destroyed many generations of SC-ST-OBC.” Speaking at an election rally in New Delhi’s Dwarka, PM Modi remarked, “Sometimes while speaking lies, the truth comes out of the Shehzada’s mouth.

Today, Congress’ Shehzada has confessed a big truth. He admitted that the system formed during his grandmother’s, father’s, and mother’s time was severely against Dalits, backwards, and Adivasis.”

“This Congress system destroyed generations of ST, SC, and OBCs. Today, the Shehzada admitted this himself,” he added. This statement followed Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about his deep understanding of the system, asserting that it is aligned against the lower castes.

What did Rahul Gandhi said?

Earlier in the day, addressing an election rally in Haryana’s Panchkula, Rahul Gandhi said, “I have been part of the system since I was born. I understand it from the inside. You cannot hide the system from me. I know whom it favours, protects, and attacks because I come from within it.”

“When my grandmother was PM, my father was PM, and during Manmohan Singh’s tenure as PM, I used to visit the PM’s house. So I know how the system works from the inside. One thing I can tell you is that the system is severely aligned against the lower castes at every level,” he added.
