Elections Results 2024 Live: The Congress has been spreading fear over caste, said PM Modi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, addressing party cadre after the stunning win in Haryana and impressive show in Jammu and Kashmir polls, singled out its principal rival, the Congress, and launched a blistering attack on the party and its leader Rahul Gandhi.

The Congress, which exit polls predicted will sweep Haryana, has been shown "no entry" board by voters, said the Prime Minister, adding that nowhere has the Congress been given a second chance

"Congress rarely comes back to power. It was 13 years ago that the Congress came back to power in Assam and there are some states where the Congress has not returned to power for 60 years," he said.

"It has been spreading fear over caste. People who were born with a silver spoon and leading 5-star lives, want the poor to fight among themselves over caste. Our Dalit community must not forget. It is Congress which has committed most atrocities against the Dalits," said the Prime Minister. 

Rahul Gandhi, who has been bullish over the caste census, has questioned the Modi government over the delay in conducting a caste census.

"For the Congress, the caste census is the foundation of policy making. It is a tool for policy making. We cannot make policies in the reality of India without a caste census," said Rahul Gandhi, while on a visit to the US.

Mr Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, said just like the Constitution, the "caste census" is a policy framework and a guide for the Congress.

The Prime Minister said the Congress tried to provoke Dalits, tribals, farmers and youth in all possible ways, but people saw through its tricks and propaganda and rejected the party.

"In the land of Gita, truth and development and good governance have won," the Prime Minister said.
