Opinion: Ideology Or Livelihood Issues? INDIA Parties Tough Choice
NDTV
Addressing the Indian Youth Congress convention with 'Behtar Bharat Ki Buniyaad' (Foundations of a Better India) as its theme in Bengaluru recently, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi asserted that the country was witnessing political contestation between two ideologies.
"On one side is the ideology of the RSS and BJP and on the other is the ideology of the Congress. There are many parties, there are parties in the Opposition... but the ideological fight that is on in the country... is between the ideologies of the RSS-BJP and that of the Congress," he said. It is his unambiguous view that the Congress is the primary proponent of the mother of anti-Hindutva ideologies.
Coming shortly after the party's over-enthusiasm in singly moving the non-confidence motion in Lok Sabha and not providing MPs from other parties a chance to append their signatures to it, Gandhi's speech added to the heartburn among other constituents of the INDIA alliance on the Congress projecting itself as the primary mover against the BJP and the Narendra Modi government.
