GADWAL/TANDUR (TELANGANA): Mounting a blistering attack on Narendra Modi, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the Prime Minister and the ruling BJP of posing a threat to the country, claiming that they “spread hatred and anger”.
Reacting to Gandhi’s remarks, BJP spokesperson and Rajya Sabha member GVL Narasimha Rao said, “It is the Congress that has resorted to caste and communal politics. The BJP has spoken on issues of development and people’s welfare. The Congress, in its desperation to come back to the electoral race, has been appealing to caste and communal considerations.”
Addressing rallies in poll-bound Telangana, Gandhi also lambasted caretaker Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, calling him “Khao Commission Rao” for alleged corruption and accusing his Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) of being “the B Team” of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“Wherever I go, I speak against Narendra Modi, because I know there is a threat to the country from Modi and the BJP. They spread hatred and anger,” he said at a rally in Tandur.
The Congress, he asserted, would stand up to it, continue to fight against it and never compromise. (AGENCIES)
