Why does PM Modi identify himself as OBC if he says poor is only caste in country, asks Rahul
PTI, Nov 4, 2023, 3:35 PM IST
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking why he identifies himself as an Other Backward Class (OBC) member when he considers poor as the only caste in the country.
Addressing a public meeting in Jagdalpur of poll-bound Chhattisgarh, he accused the BJP of insulting tribals by referring to them as ‘vanvasi’ instead of ‘adivasi’, and said his party will eliminate the term ‘vanvasi’ from the country.
“BJP leaders use vanvasi term for adivasi in their speeches. Narednra Modi and RSS have coined this new term vanvasi. There is a huge difference between vanvasi and adivasi terms. In Madhya Pradesh, a BJP leader urinated on a tribal youth and filmed the act then made it viral…This is the mindset of the BJP. They think that your place is in the forest like animals and they treat you like animals,” he added.
