Arun Sood accuses Congress of using Muslim community as vote bank

State BJP President Arun Sood took a sharp jab at Congress’ “secular” rule during his address when around 200 members from the Muslim community, majority females, joined the Bharatiya Janata Party under the leadership of Naaz Rana at Mauli Jagran.
Arun Sood welcomed all of them with saffron BJP party robes. Addressing them Sood said, that Congress and other “secular” political parties have used the Muslim community as their vote bank and did very little for their upliftment. Social, economic and educational conditions of Muslims deteriorated under Congress government, he said.
“PM Narendra Modi government with the sabka saath, sabka vikas mantra has ensured that every citizen, irrespective of their religion gets the fruits of development. Today due to many welfare programs for women by the Modi government, like Ujjwala Yojna, Jandhan Yojna, PM Mahila Awas Yojna, Har Ghar Shauchalya, Teen Talak, many Muslim women from rural areas are joining the BJP. BJP has brought many programs for the upliftment of weaker sections of society. Today Uttar Pradesh is a riot-free state,” said Sood.
Sood empahisised that the Vishvakarma Yojna launched last week by the Prime Minister will greatly benefit Muslim artisans and skilled workers in the country. “The Muslim community should not believe in the fake propaganda of Congress regarding BJP and should idolize great Indian scientist and former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam whom BJP made President of India despite opposition from the Congress party,” he added.
Councillor Manoj Sonkar, Councillor Umesh Ghai, Devi Singh & Arvind Singh were present at the occasion.
