Mr Kharge also claimed that the RSS and BJP have opposed reservations at every stage since 1947.
In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday said when the elections are over, people will only remember him as the Prime Minister who indulged in "divisive and communal speeches filled with lies" to avoid an inevitable defeat.
Noting that the PM in his letter to NDA candidates had claimed that reservation will be taken away from SC, ST and OBC and given to the Congress' "votebank", Mr Kharge said, "Our votebank is every Indian -- the poor, the marginalised, the women, the aspirational youth, the labour class, the Dalits and the Adivasis."
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Mr Kharge urged PM Modi to seek votes on the performance of his government over the last ten years instead of indulging in "hate speeches".
