Continuing his attack spree on the ruling BJP and Prime Minister Modi, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the “politics of division” is being played out in India. Rahul Gandhi who is on three days Singapore –Malaysia tour was speaking at the prestigious Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy which is also a part of Singapore University.
Training guns at BJP Gandhi said that there is an atmosphere of intimidation brewing in the country. He said that since the BJP came to power, the institutional structure of India is facing major challenges. He further added that if one were to ask him what he is proud of India, he would say it is the pluralistic idea. “It is the idea that Indian people can say what they want, can eat anything they want and do anything they want to do,” Rahul Gandhi asserted adding that this is being challenged now.
