Controversy Surrounds 'Saugat-e-Modi' Kits Ahead of Eid

Opposition MPs criticize the BJP's 'Saugat-e-Modi' kits as a political tactic. The initiative, launched by BJP Minority Morcha president Jamal Siddiqui, will distribute kits including clothes and food to 32 lakh economically weaker Muslims during Eid. Critics argue the move is a vote-seeking strategy.

On Tuesday, Opposition MPs voiced strong criticism against the ruling BJP's 'Saugat-e-Modi' kits initiative, alleging it as a ploy to garner votes.

The initiative, launched by BJP Minority Morcha national president Jamal Siddiqui, aims to distribute kits filled with essentials to 32 lakh economically disadvantaged Muslims during their festive celebrations, starting next month.

Critics argue this move, which coincides with the upcoming elections, exemplifies the BJP's strategy of using religion for electoral gains.
