BJP and RSS caused severe damage to India: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi, September 09 (KMS): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) have caused severe damage and communal divisions in India.
Addressing a press conference at Puliyoorkuruchi in Kanyakumari district of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, Rahul Gandhi said, they (BJP and RSS) have divided the country.
He said people have to understand that India has changed; the institutional framework of the country has been captured by the right-wing and the BJP is attempting to force a particular vision on the country.
“Earlier, we used to fight a political party. Now, the fight is not between two political parties but between the structure of the Indian State and the Opposition. Everybody understands this is not an easy fight. It is difficult and the media is also not with us,” he pointed out.
The primary objective of the Congress party’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ is to undo the damage and communal divisions created by the BJP and the RSS in the country rather than any political gain for the party, he said on the second day of the cross-country march.
