"We decline comment," a poll panel spokesperson said on queries related to the prime minister's speech on Sunday in Banswara.

 

Modi on Sunday suggested that if the Congress came to power, it would redistribute the wealth of people to Muslims and cited former PM Manmohan Singh's remark that the minority community had the first claim on the country's resources.
