While reacting to Congress leader Jairam Ramesh’s statement that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra is an ideological battle mounted against the politics of polarisation and social, economic and political injustice, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday said that the ‘tukde-tukde’ (breaking into factions) gang is staging a drama of uniting the country.
“What is their ideology? The ‘tukde-tukde’ gang are staging a drama of uniting the country,” Dharmendra Pradhan said speaking to ANI on Sunday in Odisha’s Angul hours before the launch of the Yatra.
Referring to the upcoming Pran Pratishtha event at the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, the senior BJP leader said, “The country is now ‘Ram-may’, the ideology of Ram is prevalent today and the country has a new awakening. Some people cannot tolerate this progress. So they indulge in this useless politics.”
“The country’s people have given them an answer in the last two elections and they will do so this time as well,” he added.
Meanwhile, BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli said that terms like “Bharat Jodo Nyay” which the Congress uses for Rahul Gandhi’s political campaigns have no meaning as the party has no intention of implementing them.
“These words that the Congress party uses for Rahul Gandhi’s political campaigns…they have no meaning. The Congress party has no intention to implement them,” Kohli said speaking to ANI on Sunday in Guwahati.
Kohli said that if one compares the state of the northeast under the Congress regime with the nine-10 years under the Narendra Modi government, one can note the increased number of visits made by the Prime Minister and other Union Ministers to the northeast.
“Compare the Northeast only, that’s where Rahul Gandhi is starting his yatra from, Manipur.
Compare the last 60 years with that of PM Modi’s nine or ten years. How many times did the Congress UPA government or its prime minister ever visit the Northeast?
