Congress slams PM for highlighting decline in Hindus' population in J'khand

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the JMM-Congress coalition in Jharkhand saying that the population of Hindus and tribals are on decline and accused the JMM-led coalition government of engaging in dangerous "vote bank politics" by supporting infiltrators at the expense of the state's identity, culture, and heritage, the Congress slammed him saying that by making such serious accusations he himself highlighted the failures of his own government at the Centre.
