Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday criticised the Congress for providing double benefits to farmers and claiming they do not respect Dalits and Adivasis.

“Congress family does not respect Dalits and Adivasis as their equals. They want to keep the poor poor and Congress is full of urban naxals,” PM Modi said after launching projects in Maharashtra’s Washim district.

He said Congress is being ruled by a gang of “urban naxals” and asked people to unite to defeat the “dangerous agenda” of that party.

“They feel that India should be ruled by only one family. That is why they have always maintained a derogatory attitude towards the Banjara community,” he said.

“They (Congress) think that if we all unite, then their agenda to divide the country will fail,” PM Modi said, addressing a rally in Washim district of Maharashtra after launching various projects.

“Everyone can see how closely Congress stands with people who don’t harbour good intentions for India,” PM Modi said.

“Drugs worth thousands of crores of rupees were seized in Delhi recently. A Congress leader is suspected to be the kingpin. Congress wants to contest elections with the money it gets by pushing the youth towards drugs,” he said.
