Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 15 accused the Congress of wanting to allocate 15% of the Central Government budget for minorities and vowed not to allow splitting of budget or reservation in jobs and education on the basis of religion. The Congress, when in power at the Centre between 2004 and 2014, had planned to spend 15% of the budget on minorities which is its “favourite vote-bank”, but gave up the proposal due to the BJP’s stiff opposition though it has not entirely abandoned the idea, he said.
AAP national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said he will have to go back to jail, if people vote for the BJP, as he urged the electorate to choose INDIA bloc candidates. INDIA bloc parties AAP and Congress are contesting the Lok Sabha elections in Delhi in an alliance. While holding a roadshow in Model Town in support of Congress’ Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha poll candidate J.P. Agarwal, Mr. Kejriwal gave the slogan “ Jo kare Kejriwal ko pyaar woh kare Modi ko inkaar (those who love Kejriwal reject Modi)“.
