Opposition dividing society on caste lines: PM Modi

Gwalior: In a sharp attack on the Congress without naming it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said the Opposition party has played with the emotions of the poor and divided the country on caste lines for six decades -- a "sin" which it is committing now as well.

Modi's statement came hours after the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar released findings of its caste survey months ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, which revealed OBCs and EBCs constitute a whopping 63 per cent of the state's total population.
