Give BJP 400, ensure Cong can’t put Babri lock on temple: PM Modi

PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday alleged a conspiracy of ‘vote jihad’ against him and said he wants over 400 seats so that Congress “cannot put a Babri lock on Ram Temple in Ayodhya”. Addressing rallies in MP’s Dhar and Khargone, and Ahmednagar and Beed districts of Maharashtra, the PM said NDA also required a 400-plus mandate to foil Congress’s ‘conspiracy’ to bring back Article 370 and implement reservations for Muslims on religious lines by snatching away SC/ST and OBC quotas.
