Narendra Modi pulls out caste card to counter ‘low-level politics’

New Delhi: After promising to keep his poll pitch on ‘development and growth’, BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Tuesday played the caste card, saying that he is being targeted because he belongs to a lower caste.

Modi’s assertion of his caste identity came a day after Priyanka Gandhi Vadra hit back at him for “insulting” her father Rajiv Gandhi. She accused Modi of indulging in ‘low-level’ politics and claimed that people of Amethi will never forgive him.
