“Whatever they do is to spread fear”: Rahul Gandhi targets BJP, RSS

TIL Desk/National/Pathankot/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the BJP and RSS today, accusing them of creating an atmosphere of hatred, violence and fear in the country.

Addressing a rally here on the last day of Bharat Jodo Yatra’s Punjab-leg, he alleged that the BJP was making one religion fight against another, one caste against another and one language against another.

“They create fear. All of their plans (policies) cause fear to someone or something,” he alleged. Pointing towards the policies of the previous UPA government, Gandhi said it brought MGNREGA, waived farm loans, urban renewal mission, green revolution, white revolution.

“Whatever we do is to wipe out fear. And whatever they do they (BJP) do is to spread fear.” “Look at their policies — farmers get up at 4 am in the morning and they toil hard daily and feed the nation. Farmers do not want anything in return, they only want respect,” he said.
