The BJP today accused the Congress party of insulting Indian religion and culture. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi party MP and spokesperson Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi slammed the statements given by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress leader Imran Masood on the festival of Diwali. He claimed that it is clear that development is at the heart of the policies of BJP, while extremism and minority appeasement are at the heart of the opposition’s politics. Mr. Trivedi alleged that the Samajwadi Party and Congress have only two ways of doing politics, either insulting Hinduism or deceiving people in the name of Hinduism.

Dr. Trivedi also hit out at the leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, over his alleged ‘so-called dead economy’ remark for the Indian economy. The BJP Spokesperson said that on Dhanteras alone, this very economy demonstrated its strength by purchasing as much gold and silver on Dhanteras alone as the entire Europe purchases in three months.
