Nanded, Nov 9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi continued his attack on Congress in the second successive day of his campaign in Maharashtra, alleging that it has no regard for Baba Saheb Ambedkar and the party "deprived the Dalits of Jammu and Kashmir of their rights".

Addressing a rally here, PM Modi accused Congress of pursuing divisive tactics and said people should remain alert.

"In 'farziwada', Congress has broken its own record. The 'Laal Kitab' of the Constitution which the Congress party was flaunting and distributing contained 'nothing'. It was an empty book. This is nothing but a testament to Congress' disregard and hate for Baba Saheb Ambedkar. The entire country is in shock over this foolish and unfortunate political play of Congress," PM Modi said at a rally in Nanded here.

PM Modi also said that referred to abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir and to the demands from INDIA bloc for restoration of special status.

"Congress did not give any rights to the Dalits of Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir continued to burn in the fire of terrorism for so many decades, separatism continued to flourish there. The country was not even allowed to know that two constitutions prevailed in this country for 75 years."

PM Modi accused the Congress of creating division among castes.

"You will have to stay vigilant of Congress' divisive tactics. You will have to stay aware about Congress' hidden agenda of breaking and destroying the country. Remember, 'hum ek rahenge to safe rahenge'" he said.

PM Modi reaffirmed his government's commitment towards Nari Shakti.

"...In the last 10 years, women's empowerment has been at the centre of most of the schemes of our government. In the family which is getting a house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, in the house where a new toilet is being built, where water and electricity connection is being provided for the first time, in the kitchen where food is being cooked on a gas cylinder for the first time, it is the female member of the family who is getting the maximum facilities...The welcome and acceptance received as regards the 'Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana' is unprecedented. We are, and will remain committed to making Nari Shakti shine more than ever before...," PM Modi added.

Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies set for November 23. (ANI)
