"BJP and Rahul Gandhi Clash Over PM Modi's Caste Status"
TL;DR
BJP countered Rahul Gandhi's claim that PM Modi does not belong to the OBC community by stating that Modi's OBC status was officially recognized in 1999, prior to his tenure as Gujarat's chief minister. Rahul Gandhi had alleged that Modi was born in a general category, not OBC, and urged people to convey this information to BJP workers. PM Modi, in a recent parliamentary session, referred to himself as the "biggest OBC" and accused the Congress of hypocrisy regarding leaders from backward communities.
