Rahul Gandhi, who reached Jharsuguda in Odisha during the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra, said in his short speech that do you know this truth about Narendra Modi’s caste? Modi was born in the general class.
This statement of the Congress leader has created a political turmoil. BJP IT Cell Chief Amit Malviya as well as Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has strongly hit back at Rahul’s statement.
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not an OBC by birth. He has been made OBC by the BJP government of Gujarat. After this statement of Rahul, BJP retaliated and accused him of insulting the backward class.
After BJP’s attacks, Rahul thanked the ruling party and said that it had confirmed that PM Modi is not an OBC by birth.
What did Rahul Gandhi say on PM’s caste?
Rahul Gandhi, who reached Jharsuguda in Odisha during the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra, said in his short speech that do you know this truth about Narendra Modi’s caste? Modi was born in ‘general class’. Rahul said, Modi ji is misleading people by saying that he is OBC.
He was born in the Ghanchi caste, which was included in the OBC list by the BJP government of Gujarat in the year 2000.
After becoming the Chief Minister, Modi changed his caste to OBC. Therefore he is not OBC by birth.
Rahul Gandhi further said, when I talked about caste-wise census and social justice, PM Modi said – there are only two castes in the country, rich and poor.
If there are two castes then which are you? You are not poor! You wear a suit worth crores. Changes clothes several times a day, then lies that I am a man from OBC category.
Rahul Gandhi is lying: Narhari Amin
BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya, Rajya Sabha member Narhari Amin as well as Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan strongly hit back at Rahul’s statement.
Amin, who left the Congress and joined the BJP in 2012, said, “I was the Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat in the Congress government when the state government notified Modh-Ghanchi as OBC on July 25,1994.
Amit Malviya gave this argument
Amit Malviya said that Rahul Gandhi’s claim that Modi has notified his caste as OBC after becoming the Chief Minister of Gujarat.
In support of his point, Malviya also shared the post of Narhari Amin. In another post, Malviya said that after the Supreme Court’s decision in the Indira Sawhney case in 1992, OBC status came into existence for the first time in the country.
Therefore, it was not possible for any caste to be included in the OBC category before 1992. Malviya said that according to Rahul Gandhi, no person born before 1992 was backward.
Lies would have been accepted as truth by telling lies: Dharmendra Pradhan
Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that either Rahul Gandhi is really foolish or he feels that by telling lies again and again, lies are accepted as truth.
Rahul Gandhi should do justice to himself first. In this way every day will sow and sell lies then the day is not far when he will be limited only to humor, satire and entertainment.
Former Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot support this statement
Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said in his ex-post that ‘Rahul Gandhi has spoken the truth on the issue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi joining the OBCs.
Modi/Ghanchi caste was not included in the OBC list in the recommendations of Mandal Commission and Bakshi Committee constituted for backward classes in Gujarat in 1978, their caste belonged to a trading community in the entire country.
People from Jain, Maheshwari and Agarwal communities generally use the surname Modi.
Rahul Gandhi may get notice on this statement
Now the National Backward Classes Commission is considering issuing a notice to Rahul Gandhi on this statement of the Congress leader as sources said.
