'One election, one ideology' not acceptable to India, BJP should not 'divide country for votes': Congress' Anand Sharma in RS

Firstpost  

The Congress said in the Rajya Sabha that the idea of ‘one election, one face, one ideology’ is not acceptable to India and asked the BJP to desist from ‘dividing the country for votes’. New Delhi: The Congress on Wednesday said in the Rajya Sabha that the idea of “one election, one face, one ideology” is not acceptable to India and asked the BJP to desist from “dividing the country for votes”. There should be one country, but one election, one face, one name, one ideology is not acceptable to India,” Sharma said. Asking the BJP to recognise the contributions made by previous governments and prime ministers, Sharma said, “Don’t think the country started after 2014 and not after 1947 when India achieved independence.” “Respect and accept India’s diversity… The achievements made by India are by its scientists and why do you not recognise them,” he asked.
