Modi a 'fake OBC', claims Congress

New Delhi: Narendra Modi is a “fake OBC”, the Congress today claimed seeking to puncture the BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate's attack on Priyanka Gandhi over her “neech rajniti” barbs and demanded an apology from him.


“He belongs to rich and prosperous Modh Ghanchis who were never given any kind of reservation nor were included in OBCs before Modi became CM. In the way encounters were fake in Gujarat, Modi is also a fake OBC,” Gohil said. 

Quoting from Gujarati lexicon ‘Bhagvadgomandal', the Congress leader said that Modh are rich people living in a particular village and Ghanchis belong to the prosperous trading class.

“Modi has been making loud claims of whether it is a sin to be of this particular caste? It is not a crime to be of any caste or community. But it definitely is a crime to put an upper caste in OBC category and then cry discrimination,” Gohil said.
