Modi tries to divert your attention: Gandhi

Denial
Gandhi denies Modi's allegations about Congress's plans
During the rally, Gandhi also hit back at Modi's allegations that the Congress plans to distribute national wealth among "infiltrators" and "those who have more children," a reference to the Muslim community. He also refuted Modi's claim that the Congress would decrease Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribe reservations and allocate them among Muslims if it came into power. Furthermore, Gandhi accused Modi of channeling wealth toward a select few billionaires over the past decade.
