On a day the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar released its caste survey report, Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused the Opposition of dividing the country along caste lines, in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior.
“Back then played with the sentiments of the poor, they are still playing that game. Back then they divided people in the name of caste and even today, they are committing the same sin,” Mr. Modi said on October 2, comparing his nine-year-old governance record with those who “had been given six decades to rule”.
Addressing a public meeting after inaugurating development projects worth around ₹19,260 crore, Mr. Modi slammed his opponents calling them anti-development and corrupt.
