Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP of dividing the people of the country on lines of religion, caste and region and alleged that it was ending democracy
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday alleged that the BJP government "talks like a lion outside the country, but is acting like a mouse within" as it is unable to take on China for indulging in incursions along the border and is running away from a debate on the issue in Parliament.
Speaking at a rally in Rajasthan's Alwar during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, he also claimed that while the Congress stood for the country and helped attain Independence after its leaders gave supreme sacrifices, "not even a dog of the BJP was lost" for the country.
Mr Kharge accused the BJP of dividing the people of the country on lines of religion, caste and region and alleged that it was ending democracy and autonomy of constitutional institutions, against which the Congress was taking out the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
"The Modi government claims that they are very strong and pat themselves claiming no one can look into their eyes, but disputes and clashes are rising at the border. After 20 of our soldiers were martyred at the border in Galwan, Modi ji met Chinese president 18 times. They held meetings and even had swings. After all this, why is it happening at the border with China?" he said.
