Cong should clarify if rights can be given in proportion to 'abadi', says PM Modi; asks if it wants to decrease rights of Muslims

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said the Congress should clarify whether rights can be given in proportion to the “abadi” (population) and asserted that poor people have the first right over the country’s resources.

He also asked whether the grand old party wants to decrease the rights of the Muslims.

His statements come a day after the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government released a caste survey, which revealed that OBCs and EBCs constitute a whopping 63 per cent of the state’s total population. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had hailed the Bihar caste survey saying that the country needs a caste-based census to give people their due rights as per their population.
