"BJP turns fear into hatred, violence": Rahul Gandhi at Bharat Jodo Yatra

TIL Desk/National/Maharashtra/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of spreading fear, hatred and violence and said the country can not progress under these circumstances.

The country will never benefit from hatred and those who experience violence in personal life are fearless and will never hurt others or spread ill-will in the society, said Rahul Gandhi, whose Bharat Jodo Yatra has completed 12 days in Maharashtra.

Addressing a rally organised as part of the yatra at Shegaon in Buldhana district after visiting Sant Gajanan Maharaj Temple, Rahul Gandhi, however, avoided any mention of freedom fighter V D Savarkar during his speech.

The Congress MP’s critical remarks on Savarkar in the last few days had invited criticism from ally Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) and rival BJP, and also triggered statewide protests.
