Narendra Modi For Prime Minister : Politics over burqa clouds Modi's rally in Bhopal

2019-03-01 1

An accusation by Congress general secretary and former Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh, that a construction company linked to the BJP has sponsored 10,000 burqas for the party's Karyakarta Mahakumbh to be held here on Wednesday, is sure to make Muslims the cynosure of the rally to be addressed by Gujarat CM Narendra Modi.
Mr. Singh claimed in Indore on Tuesday that Devendra Jain — a director of construction firm Dilip Buildcon — sponsored 10,000 burqas for the BJP's Muslim cadre who will attend the rally. Dilip Buildcon, which handles several road projects in the State, is owned by Dilip Suryavanshi — a man considered close to the BJP leadership. The Income Tax Department had searched properties of Suryavanshi and Jain in 2012. Suryavanshi is currently being probed by the Enforcement Directorate for alleged money laundering. Mr. Singh even produced a receipt from an Indore shop called Zeenat for Rs. 44.6 lakh, of which Rs. 42 lakh had been paid as advance. The burqa "expose" comes days after BJP's minority morcha State president Hidayatullah Sheikh said that Muslims would be told to "dress traditionally" for the rally as "the world must know that all sections [of society] are with the party."
