Gohil released copy of a Gujarat government's circular to claim that Modi indulged in some manipulation to include his caste in the OBC category after he became the Chief Minister.
Congress launched this attack following Modi playing the caste card to counter Priyanka's “neech rajniti” barbs, saying Congress was targeting his lower caste origins.
“Modi does not belong to Other Backward Castes (OBC) as he has been claiming to exploit OBC votes. 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.
Like the fake encounters in Gujarat, Modi is also a fake OBC,” Gohil said.
Quoting Gujarati lexicon ‘Bhagvadgomandal', the Congress leader said Modhs are rich people living in a particular village and Ghanchis belong to the prosperous trading class.
