The Hindu
Mr. Venugopal alleged that problems have arisen because of wrong policies of the BJP-led government at the Centre.
For the Congress, an election is a tool to fulfil the people’s aspirations, whereas the BJP is trying to polarise the voters in the Rajasthan Assembly polls because communalism is in its DNA, Congress general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal said on Wednesday, in an interview to The Hindu at the Pradesh Congress Committee’s war room in the State capital. Mr. Venugopal also alleged that the BJP’s misuse of Central agencies had destroyed the level playing field for elections. Edited excerpts:
