Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress president, blasted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday for "only talking about Muslims" and claimed that the impoverished had more children as a result of their financial circumstances.

At a rally in the Janjgir-Champa district of Chhattisgarh, Kharge asserted that PM Modi was unhappy because he felt the opposition's INDIA bloc was poised to get a majority and that is why he was now talking about "Mangalsutra and Muslims".
While supporting Congress leader Shivkumar Dahariya in his bid to win the Janjgir-Champa Lok Sabha seat, he remarked that the BJP's goal of winning more than 400 seats was to deny the rights of the underprivileged rather than to improve their lot in life.

Kharge further alleged that people should not play on the name of God. While promoting the Congress candidate, he said, "This candidate is Shivkumar Dahariya. His name is Shivkumar - barabar ye Ram ka muqabla kar sakta hai kyunki ye Shiv hai. I am Mallikarjun. Main bhi Shiv hoon...Don't lure people through religious talks. People are clever..."

He further alleged, “We are heading for a majority, that is why he (Modi) now talks about 'Mangalsutra' and Muslims. He says we will steal your wealth and give it to those who have more children. Poor people always have more children. Do only Muslims have them?" he asked.

“We are a democracy now and the Congress party will not let such a time come...Congress will not take away anybody's Mangalsutra...", he added.

It is worth to be noted that the statement from Kharge has come after PM Modi, during an election rally in Rajasthan said that they will redistribute the wealth to those who have more children and infiltrators. He said, if such a prime minister will rule for next five years, the country will be destroyed.
