'Bharat Todo Yatra' as Rahul Gandhi meets anti-India people, says Rathor
BJP leader and Former Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore took a swipe at Congress's Bharat Jodo Yatra, saying that this is a 'Bharat Todo Yatra' as Rahul Gandhi is meeting with anti-India people during his journey.
While slamming the Cong. Party, former Union Minister said, "The Gandhi family is famous for dividing India- be it Jawaharlal Nehru who created a worse situation in Kashmir, Indira Gandhi who imposed an emergency in the country or Rajiv Gandhi who led Sikh riots. They only do vote bank politics and their Islamic thinking is breaking the country.
On an attack at Ashok Gehlot, Rajyavardhan Rathore said that the Rajasthan Congress has no other responsibility than backing a family all the time.
Moreover, Mr Rathore said, Party in the state is engaged in launching and relaunching a family? There are many major issues in the state such as women's safety and lumpy disease, but the government is not paying attention to these issues."
Previously, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot attacked BJP and said why is the party worried about the Yatra. Do they not have any work?
PM wears glasses worth 2.5 lakh, the Home Minister himself wears a muffler worth Rs 80,000 and now BJP is politicizing a T-shirt," Mr Gehlot had said.
On that note, Rathor responded, "Rajasthan has become a hotbed of riots today. The incidence of rape is increasing in Rajasthan. The necks are being beheaded, but these are small incidents for Congress and if a family is asked a question, then it becomes a very big issue for them."
While talking about the Congress' Yatra, Mr Rathore said that the Congress is pretending to unite the country.
"He is meeting with an anti-India pastor and spreading so much hatred towards Hindu society and RSS. There is a split within the Congress, they should first do the work of connecting the Congress," he further said adding that Congress's intention is visible from the way they work and they are sad that the people have rejected them.
"Wherever the BJP is in the power, there are no riots and people are benefitted from every scheme. People who left the country during the Congress government are returning to India. India is now one of the strongest countries economically," the former Union Minister said.
