BJP using religion to protect corporate forces and incite communal tensions, alleges CPI(M)

The Hindu  

The Communist Party of India has alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party is using religion as a tool to protect Adanis and Ambanis. Attempts were being made to instigate communal tensions across the country, including Andhra Pradesh, and Ayodhya Ram Mandir was a step in that direction, the party alleged. It was solely to protect the corporate forces like Ambani and Adani, Mr. Srinivasa Rao alleged. The TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu was trying to be in the good books of Mr. Modi at Ayodhya by standing behind iron barricades, he alleged.
