Kewadiya, Gujarat : Targeting the Opposition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said some powers are trying to weaken national unity for the sake of politics and called upon people to identify and fight against this "alliance of urban Naxals". The Prime Minister was speaking on National Unity Day, which coincided with Diwali this time, near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's grand statue at Kewadiya in Gujarat.

"Countries are growing apart, but coming close to India. This is not ordinary, a new history is being written. The world is watching how India is resolving its issues. So we have to protect our unity," he said, after paying tributes to Sardar Patel, who played a key role in national integration after India's Independence in 1947.

"Some perverted powers are worried about India's rise. Within India, and outside it, such people are trying to create instability and anarchy. They want the wrong message to go to global investors. These people are targeting the forces, running misinformation campaigns. They are trying to divide (people) in the name of caste. They aim to weaken India's society and unity. They don't want India to be developed because the politics of 'poor India, weak India' suits them. So they are breaking India in the name of the Constitution. We have to identify this alliance of Urban Naxals and fight against them," the Prime Minister said.

While he did not explicitly name any Opposition party or leader, the reference was clear. The INDIA Opposition bloc, led by the Congress, built its Lok Sabha election campaign around a 'save Constitution' slogan and is demanding a caste Census to ensure better representation of backward classes in jobs and education. In this general election, the BJP led by Prime Minister Modi returned to power despite falling short of getting a majority on its own.

The Prime Minister paid tribute to Sardar Patel and said the BJP government's vision reflects its commitment to national unity. He said a 'one nation, one tax' system and abolished the Article 370 wall, revoking Jammu and Kashmir's special status.

"The discriminatory policies and intent of previous governments weakened national unity. Over the past 10 years, the new governance model has eliminated discrimination. We have chosen the path of sabka saath sabka vikas. This approach has ended the dissatisfaction among people and enhanced their trust in development schemes," the Prime Minister said.
