Cong breaking OBC-ST-SC unity: PM

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the JMM-Congress government and cautioned the people to stay vigilant against their divisive tactics of breaking and destroying the country.

Accusing its 'shahi parivar' (royal family) of attempting to break the ST-SC-OBC unity to "snatch away reservations under an evil design" while urging the crowd at a rally in Jharkhand to stay united, saying, 'Ek rahenge toh safe rahenge (stay united to stay safe).'

He accused the ruling JMM-led coalition of looting the state's rich resources, including minerals, forests, sand, and coal, which he said put the state's "Roti-Beti-Mati" (bread, land, and daughter) at risk.
