Poll Challenge: Mayawati Asks Modi to Reveal His Caste

Posted on the 06 May 2014 by M Shekhar @politicscope
BSP chief Mayawati has challenged BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi to reveal his caste and spell out that what he has done as the chief minister for backward castes in Gujarat.
Mayawati accused Modi of playing caste card for electoral gains by distorting Priyanka Gandhi's remark on 'neechee rajniti' into 'neechee jati'.

PROLOGUE

Narendra Modi asks at a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Domariyaganj without naming anyone.
"Is it a sin to be born in a lower caste, have I done anything wrong?"
And, the public shouts with full volume voice support.
"No"
Actually Modi was reacting after Priyanka Gandhi Vadra attacked him saying that Modi had insulted her "martyred" father Rajiv Gandhi, former PM. “The Congress booth workers in Amethi would give a befitting reply to his ‘low-level politics’,” added Priyanka.
Also, Modi posts a few tweets in Hindi: “I have come from a low caste and that is the reason my opponents have accused me of playing low level politics."

सामाजिक रूप से निचले वर्ग से आया हूँ इसलिये मेरी राजनीति उन लोगों के लिये ‘नीच राजनीति’ ही होगी |

हो सकता है कुछ लोगों को यह नजर नहीं आता हो पर निचली जातियों के त्याग, बलिदान और पुरुषार्थ की देश को इस ऊँचाई पर पहुँचाने में अहम भूमिका है |

"Modi has been saying that he belongs to backward caste and is being targeted for it. I had asked earlier also and now demanding again that Modi should tell people to which caste he belongs. Is he a Barber, Pal, Kushwaha, Rajbhar, Lonia-Chauhan? Or, he is not an OBC at all."
- Mayawati, BSP Chief
