Congress ecosystem adopting same divide and rule policy of British to break nation: PM Modi
New Indian ExpressBHUBANESWAR: Under flak from the Congress and other Opposition parties for participating in the Ganesh Puja at Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud's residence, PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday hit back saying the ecosystem consumed by intolerance was opposing a festival that had great importance for the country. Addressing a huge gathering for the launch of the state BJP government’s flagship initiative for women, Subhadra Yojana, on the occasion of his 74th birthday in Bhubaneswar, Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress and its allies. When the English rulers in their hunger for power were trying to divide India by poisoning the minds of the people in the name of caste and religion, Lokmanya Tilak played a pivotal role to unite the people by organising Ganesh puja festivals in public places," the PM said. The intolerance of the Congress to the festival was also clearly evident when the Karnataka government went to the extent of putting a Ganesh idol behind the bars," he said.
