Spokesperson of right-wing BJP defends PM Modi for calling "a spade a spade" while opposition party Congress says the remarks were "far worse than any ever made by a sitting PM, in the history of India."Modi and his far-right affiliates have criticised Muslims for their higher birth rates and invoked false claims that India's Muslim population would overtake that of its majority Hindus.
They were"far worse than any ever made by a sitting Prime Minister in the history of India", the complaint said. Modi falsely claimed a previous congress government had said that"Muslims have the first right over the nation's wealth". Despite Modi — born on September 17, 1950 to Damodardas Mulchand Modi and Heeraben Modi — being the third eldest among six siblings, his ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has often falsely claimed that Muslims have higher birth rates.
Earlier this year, Modi presided over the inauguration of a grand temple to the deity Ram, built on the site of a centuries-old mosque razed by Hindu zealots.BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia told reporters on Monday that Modi was calling"a spade a spade" and his remarks resonated with what people thought.
Analysts have long expected Modi to triumph against a fractious alliance of more than two dozen parties that have yet to name a candidate for prime minister.
