Voting for the first phase of Lok Sabha elections was held on 19 April. But this poll has worried political parties. Since then, Bharatiya Janata Party has intensified its election campaign. PM Modi also seems quite aggressive in his speech. Now the new thing is that PM Modi is seen giving more emphasis on M factor in election rallies. PM Modi used these three words in Banswara, Rajasthan. He said that Congress has said in its manifesto that we will snatch your property and give it to those who have more children. He Dr. Referring to Manmohan Singh, he said that Muslims have the first right on the country’s resources.
Mention of M factor in the speech…
PM Modi said that Congress is plotting against you. Congress has its eyes on your Mangalsutra also. Addressing a rally in Aligarh, he said that Congress wants to take your property and distribute it among everyone. He also said that under the Congress rule, a community is facing difficulties in practicing their religion. The situation in Karnataka is such that people are harassed for chanting Hanuman Chalisa.
PM Modi also said that we have presented the truth before the country. Congress is thinking of confiscating your property. Then he will distribute it among many people. Congress has written this in its manifesto. Let us tell you here that when PM Modi had taken the name of Muslims, the opposition forces had also complained to the Election Commission and said that PA Modi was trying to polarize Hindus and Muslims. He has demanded the Election Commission to take action against PM Modi.
What is M factor?
M Factor stands for Mangalsutra, Muslim and Manifesto. There was a time when political parties believed in the M-Y factor. Due to this reason, RJD was in power in Bihar in the 90s. However, after the Modi government came to power in 2014, the M-Y factor disappeared. The opposition says that the way PM Modi is talking about Muslims as infiltrators and those who produce more children, the distance in the society will increase. When PM Modi talks about Mangalsutra, he is addressing Hindu women.
In an interview given to ANI, PM Modi talked about diversity. Apart from this he talked about the interests of backward Muslims. He also said that no one is discriminated against. When he reached the rally, he accused Congress of wanting to benefit a special class. Now talking about the first phase of voting, voting took place on 102 seats in the first phase. Which was less than the last Lok Sabha elections.
There was a lot of discussion about low turnout. The opposition is happy to know that people are disappointed with BJP and are voting less. BJP is also giving reason for this. Sources say that extreme heat could also be a reason for the decline in voting.
