Clarifying his controversial remarks about 'infiltrators' and 'those with more children,' Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserts that he did not single out Muslims but rather addressed the broader issue of poverty and overpopulation.
He vehemently denies engaging in divisive rhetoric, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to serving every citizen irrespective of their religious affiliation.
Referring to his childhood experiences growing up amidst Muslim families and his close relationships with Muslims, Modi laments the tarnishing of his image after the 2002 Godhra riots.
Despite the efforts of his opponents to portray him as anti-Muslim, Modi insists that his policies are driven by a genuine concern for the well-being of all Indians, regardless of their religious beliefs.
He firmly believes that resorting to divisive tactics such as pitting Hindus against Muslims would render him 'unworthy of public life.'
Modi's remarks come amidst heightened political tensions surrounding the upcoming Lok Sabha election, with his opponents attempting to portray him as polarizing and divisive.
However, Modi remains steadfast in his refusal to engage in such tactics, emphasizing instead the importance of unity and inclusivity in building a strong and prosperous India.
He appeals to the electorate to judge him based on his track record of serving all citizens equally and his commitment to the welfare of the nation as a whole.
As the election campaign intensifies, Modi's ability to navigate these complex political dynamics and maintain a message of unity while addressing the concerns of diverse constituencies will be closely scrutinized.
The outcome of the election will not only determine the future of India's political landscape but also shape the country's social and economic trajectory for years to come.
