Prime Minister Narendra Modi has accused the Congress of wishing to take away the gold and property of people and distribute it among “those having more children". The remarks — made during a poll rally in Rajasthan on Sunday — has prompted a sharp rebuttal from the Congress. Congress manifesto says that it will calcuate the gold owned by our mothers and sisters, collect information and then distribute to those...whom former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that Muslims have the first right on country's wealth. They will check how much gold our sisters own, how much silver tribal families have, and how much money government employees have there," the Prime Minister alleged. 

He cited the Congress manifesto to assert that the “gold owned by our sisters would be equally distributed". Modi also claimed that the "royal family" of the party would not be in a position to vote for it as Congress wass not contesting the New Delhi Lok Sabha seat.
