Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge took a veiled attack at Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath on Sunday. Attacking CM Yogi he said, “If you are a sanyasi or wear ‘Gerua’ clothes, then get out of politics.”
Mallikarjun Kharge attacked, Yogi Adtiyanath’s ‘Batoge Toh Katogey,’ slogan calling for Hindu unity and accused him of spreading hatred. Speaking at the ‘Samvidhan Bachao Sammelan,’ he said, “Many leaders live in the guise of sadhus and have now become politicians. Some have even become chief ministers. They wear ‘Gerua’ clothes and have no hair on their heads…I would say to the BJP, either wear white clothes or if you are a sanyasi or wear ‘Gerua’ clothes, then get out of politics.”
Further, referring to Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Ek Hain Toh Safe Hain’ remark, Mallikarjun Kharge said, “Who is threatened? Is there any problem? In fact, the country faces threat from RSS, BJP, Modi, and (Union home minister Amit) Shah.”
He said, “BJP is coming up with new slogans these days. I just want to ask is there any danger in the country? If the country is in danger, it is from BJP-RSS. Because these are the people who talk about division and killing from morning to evening. We have always tried to keep the country united. Indira Gandhi ji was martyred for keeping the country united.”
BJP Slams The Anti-Hindu DNA of Congress…
Commenting on Mallikarjun Kharge’s statement, BJP National Spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, “This is the true philosophy and DNA of Congress which is anti-Hindu and anti-Sanatan. Therefore, Congress is now saying that those who wear ‘Gerua’ and saffron, the clothes of a sadhu should not come into politics but will they ever say this about Maulana and Maulvi? This is the same Congress that spoke about ‘saffron terrorism’, ‘Hindu terror’…they will never say such things about other faiths, it shows that Congress hurt Hindu faith for votes of their votebank…they consider ‘Batoge Toh Katogey’ as communal and vote jihad as secular.. ”
