Caste hierarchy, religious divide are BJP’s objectives: Rahul


Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that the BJP has the objectives of maintaining caste hierarchy, ensuring that women remain subservient to men and dividing India along regional lines.The Congress MP was interacting with mediapersons at Adoni in Kurnool district during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.

He alleged that Congress has got two-three objectives. “It’s first objective is to maintain caste hierarchy and eventually kill the Constitution, second make sure women are always subservient to Indian men and third is to divide India along regional lines,” he said.Rahul claimed that the views of Congress are diametrically opposed to BJP’s objectives. “We want to protect the Constitution. We want to protect the rights of women and we bring communities and religions together. That is what Bharat Jodo Yatra is aimed at and it is doing this successfully,” he said.The Congress leader said people had started asking what is the need for violence hatred, why should we hate each other and why should we kill each other. These questions are being asked as a result of Yatra, he said.Alleging that the hatred and violence being spread in India and the country is being divided, he said that the Yatra’s aim is to unite the country again and to stand up to the violence.”We are getting an opportunity to connect with people through Yatra. We are learning a lot,” he said while evading a direct reply on why Congress was losing elections.
