India's Constitution bars reservations on the basis of religion, but Congress promised the same in its poll manifesto, the PM said.

By doing so, it stabbed Dr B R Ambedkar in the back, he added.

Congress wants to snatch away people's wealth, it will find out "through X-ray" what is hidden in your lockers, Modi said.

Madhya Pradesh was known as a ‘Bimaru’ state during the Congress regime, and development took place only when the BJP came to power, he said.
