New Delhi:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today slammed the Congress for ignoring the interests of Dalits and said the party had insulted the architect of India's Constitution B.R. Ambedkar. Addressing a rally in in Chitradurga, about 200 km northwest of Bengaluru, the PM said: "The Congress has insulted Ambedkar. They have never accepted him. The Congress never had any time for him". PM Modi is addressing four rallies today; his party colleague Amit Shah is also campaigning in the poll-bound state.
Leaders from both the BJP and Congress have engaged into a war of words in the run up to the polling day on May 12. On Saturday, PM Modi amped up his criticism against the Congress, predicting the return of the BJP to Karnataka and squeeze Rahul Gandhi's party to just two states. "When the results for the Karnataka elections are out on May 15, then it will not be an Indian National Congress. It will become PPP Congress. That means Punjab, Puducherry, Parivar Congress," he said.
Karnataka goes to polls on May 12 and 2,655 candidates, including 219 women, are in the poll fray for securing 224 seats up. The results will be declared on May 15.
