"The yuvraj of Congress that has entered into an alliance with the anti-national National Conference and snatched reservation from backward classes and given it to Muslims is now plotting to end reservation in the country," he said.

"Rahul Gandhi should understand that as long as there is even a single BJP worker in this country, his divisive tactics will not work. 'We the people of India' are united against all anti-national forces including Congress," he added.

The chief minister asserted that under the leadership and guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP-led NDA government is determined to uplift the exploited, oppressed, and deprived people.

"Rahul Gandhi's attempt to sow the seeds of division in the country is condemnable. He should apologise to the people of the country for this."
