Modi's 'those who have more children' remark sparks Opposition furore

The Congress hit back and accused PM Modi of lying and creating a divide between Hindus and Muslims.

The Opposition came down heavily on Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he alleged that the Congress, if voted to power, would distribute the country's wealth to "those who have more children".

Addressing a rally in Rajasthan's Banswara on Sunday, PM Modi hit out at the Congress over its wealth redistribution survey promise and said that the party, if voted to power, would distribute the country's wealth to "infiltrators" and "those who have more children".

The Congress hit back and accused PM Modi of lying and creating a divide between Hindus and Muslims. The party rejected the Prime Minister's claims and said their manifesto had no such promise.
