Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing an election rally in Agra said the alliance between Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav in Uttar Pradesh is based on appeasement politics.

"Friendship between two boys in UP based on politics of appeasement," said the Prime Minster.

PM Modi said his government was working to end "appeasement" while charging that the Congress was determined to steal from the OBC quota to provide reservation based on religion.


"They have their eyes on women's property, I am here as the 'chowkidar' (watchman)," Modi said.

"Indian Constitution doesn't allow reservation on the basis of religion but the Congress insults the constitution by advocating this. The Congress is determined to steal from the OBC quota to provide reservation based on religion," Modi said.

"The policy of appeasement divided the country but we are ending 'tushtikaran' (appeasement) and working for 'santushtikaran' (satisfying people)," he added.
