Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that he is not against Islam or Muslims and wants the community to think about its future growth by voting in the ongoing general elections, the third phase of which ends on Tuesday.
Modi’s critics accuse him and his party of attacking the Muslim minority to win elections, and the accusations intensified after Modi criticized Muslims in a recent speech. “infiltrators”which “even more children”.
Modi is seeking a rare third consecutive term in seven-phase elections that began on April 19 and will end on June 1. Eleven states and territories will go to the polls in the third phase on Tuesday, and polls show Modi will win comfortably when results are announced on June 4.
His campaign began by showcasing the economic achievements of the past 10 years, but changed course after the first phase of voting and focused more on strengthening the Hindu base of his Bharatiya Janata Party, calling his rivals pro-Islamic.
Analysts say Modi and his Hindu nationalist party have made controversial comments to bolster their position as the elections see comparatively low voter turnout compared to previous years.
