Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday accused the opposition of "trying to divide the country in the name of caste", in a sharp comment that came hours after the Bihar government released details of its controversial state-wide caste-based survey. The Prime Minister did not refer to the survey or any specific party but, in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh, he lashed out at the opposition for having failed to secure development while in power and attacked them for "playing with the feelings of the poor".
