PM Modi lies that he was born OBC, alleges Rahul Gandhi in Odisha

Rahul Gandhi accuses PM Modi of lying about his caste, claims he was born in a general caste, not OBC.

Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of lying that he was born Other Backward Class during his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in the western Odisha town of Jharsuguda on Thursday.

“Your Prime Minister was not born OBC and he was born in general caste. He was born in Teli caste in Gujarat. The Bharatiya Janata Party Government had included his caste in OBC category in 2000. He keeps lying everywhere that he was born OBC,” said Mr. Gandhi addressing a public meeting.

“Do you know how do I know that he was not born OBC? I don’t require birth certificate to ascertain the fact. He does not embrace any OBC person. He does not hold hands of farmers and labourers. He only holds hand of Adaniji,” he said.

“In his lifetime, he (PM Modi) will not let conduct the caste census because the PM is lying to the country that he was born OBC. The truth is that he was born general caste. Take it in writing,” said Congress leader.

“The caste census can only be undertaken by Congress and Rahul Gandhi. When I raised the issue of caste census and social justice, Mr. Modi delivered a speech saying there are only two castes – one rich and another poor. If there are two castes which caste do you (PM) belong to? You cannot be poor. You wear suits that cost in crore. If there are two castes, how come you are an OBC,” he said.

“He [Mr. Modi] wears one cloth in morning and it subsequently gets changed during noon and evening. His attires keep changing every day. And he lies that he belongs to OBC community. Mr. Modi is from Modh-Ghanchi caste. He was made PM to fool all backward class communities,” charged Mr. Gandhi.

“When it comes to economic justice, your PM is destroying small businesses. He has implemented GST and demonetisation to help Adaniji. In the country including Odisha, youths cannot get employment. Big industrialists are selling products made in China helping youths of China make money. People in India are only spending,” said the Congress leader.
