“In Haryana, everyone says 'Ram Ram'. People say 'Ram Ram' every 10 steps,” Modi said at his third rally in the state.

The SC, ST and OBC were given reservation under the Constitution, but “they want to take it back and give it to those who vote for jihad”, he said.

The reservation that should have been given to OBCs was also given to Muslims and 'ghuspathaiyes' (infiltrators), PM Modi asserted.

What could our oppressed brothers and sisters, Dalits and adivasi do? Look at the mentality of the INDI alliance. Bengal CM announced that he would not accept the HC verdict “It would give OBC reservation to Muslims,” Modi said.

“Congress, TMC, IND alliance and all its outfits strongly support their vote bank,” he said.
