Meanwhile, PM Modi while addressing a ‘Vijay Sankhnad’ rally at Kondatarai village in Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh asked people to remain vigilant of them.
PM Modi said, “I want to make you aware of a conspiracy that is being hatched against our faith and the country. Those whom you kept away from power for the last nine years (at the Centre) and those who are continuously losing elections are now filled with so much hatred against you that they are now targeting your “identity and your culture”.
“In greed for power, these people now want to break the culture which has existed in India for thousands of years. Sanatan culture is the one in which Lord Ram calls Shabari as his mother and enjoys eating her half-eaten ber (juthe ber),”he said.
