Modi a 'fake OBC', claims Congress

The Congress leader hastened to add that he had no proof of this right now and hence was “not levelling any allegation”, and said he had filed an RTI application to ascertain the facts.

On Modi playing the caste card to counter Priyanka's “neech rajniti” barbs, saying Congress was targeting his lower caste origin, Gohil, who was a former CLP leader of Gujarat, released a copy of a Gujarat government circular to claim that Modi “manipulated” to bring his ‘Modh Ghanchi' caste into the OBC list after he became Chief Minister of the state.  

“Of late, Gujarat chief minister has been indulging in a low level of political gimmickry. He has been desperately trying to invoke his OBC status and garner sympathy. Modi does not belong to Other Backward Communities (OBC) as he has been claiming to exploit OBC votes.
