Banswara (Rajasthan) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on May 16 accused the BJP and Prime Minister Naren
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on May 16 accused the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of trying to create two Hindustans, one for the rich and the other for the poor.
Addressing a rally in Banswara, he also lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the state of the economy, accusing him of destroying the economy which was “strengthened” by the former UPA Government.
The Congress, he said, works to connect with all while the BJP works to create a divide.
The BJP and Mr. Modi want to create two Hindustans, one for the rich and select two-three industrialists, and the other of Dalits, farmers, the poor and underprivileged while the Congress wants only one Hindustan, he said, adding, “This is the fight in the country”.
The Congress leader said there is a fight between two ideologies in the country.
“The Congress says that we have to move forward while connecting with all, respect and protect the culture of all. The BJP works to divide, ‘crush’ and ‘suppress’. [BJP] works to remove history and culture of tribals,” he said in the tribal dominated area of southern Rajasthan.
“We work to connect while they work to divide. We help the weaker and they help selected top industrialists,” he said.
