Quick Glance: India's Modi Attacks Pro-Muslim Rivals in Election Shift
  • Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have begun attacking opposition rivals, claiming they favor minority Muslims, in an effort to energize their hardline base after the start of general elections last week.

  • Modi referred to Muslims as 'infiltrators' who have 'more children', linking it to an alleged election plan by the main opposition Congress party to redistribute Hindu wealth among Muslims, a claim denied by the Congress.

  • Modi's government has faced accusations of discrimination against India's 200 million Muslims, but has denied them, emphasizing its work for the welfare of all citizens.

  • Modi initially focused on development, welfare, and national pride in his campaign, but shifted focus back to core voters after the first phase, addressing issues of joblessness and rural distress.
