In a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi’s ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, BJP leader Sambit Patra on Wednesday said the Congress can never unite the country.

The BJP spokesperson was speaking to reporters here ahead of Gujarat state Assembly polls.

“There is trust on one side, which provided development for 27 years with the help of people of Gujarat. Every Gujarati takes pride that he has built Gujarat. You (Gujaratis) had put your trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he reciprocated by giving you hospitals, electricity, water and roads,” said Patra.

On the other side, there are forces which work only for their selfish goals, he said, adding that such people are “here to break, not to unite people”.

“They do Yatra claiming to unite people, but their work is all about breaking the country. Congress party can never unite the country,” Patra said.

“A party which does not believe in the existence of Lord Ram can never unite this country. And just recently, Congress’ Karnataka president used derogatory words for Hindus. A party which did politics on COVID-19 vaccine can never unite our country,” he added.

Himachal Election: PM Modi links Congress to instability, corruption and Scams

Chambi (HP) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday that Himachal Pradesh needs a stable and strong government of “double engine”, and linked the Congress with “instability, corruption and scam”.

Addressing a rally in Kangra district, which has the largest number of assembly seats in the state, Modi targeted the Congress, accusing it of “betraying” the state when it was in power at the Centre.

He said the Congress, the main challenger to the BJP’s bid to retain power in the hill state, will only hamper development if it is elected to power in the state.

Noting that the Congress is left with power in only two states, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, Modi asked people if they have ever heard of them making news for development. It is the reports of internal feuds of the Congress which come out from there, he added.

There is so much anger against the Congress that people have not elected it to power in many states for decades after defeating it, Modi said, citing the examples of Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal among others.

The BJP is identified by people with good governance and pro-poor policies and that is why it is elected to power again and again, he said, referring to the party’s win in several states where it was in power.

The BJP only says what it can do and then works with its full strength to implement with its promises, he said. Other political parties are still rooted in family rule and vote bank politics, he said.
