BJP) president JP Nadda has said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been referring to "mangalsutra" in his election speeches to expose «thinking in Congress on wealth redistribution» and that the UPA government had said that Muslims have the first right over the country's wealth.
In an interview with ANI, Nadda said the Modi government has lifted 25 crore people out of poverty, has worked for everyone and has taken steps for the empowerment of women, farmers, the poor, Dalits and other weaker sections. He accused Congress of following policies of divide and rule and not working for the integration of society.
Nadda referred to remarks of former Congress Overseas Chairperson Sam Pitroda pertaining to «redistribution of wealth» and "inheritance tax" and said he was the guru of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
«You talked about redistribution of wealth. Your guru who is in a foreign country, who is a friend philosopher guide, he talks about the redistribution of wealth. After all, no matter what the man in the house earns, it's always the women who run the family. So to explain what you mean by redistribution of wealth, we have to link it with the 'Mangalsutra',» Nadda said.
