Tamil Nadu should show the way to India in keeping BJP out of power, says Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday said that Tamil Nadu should show the way to the country in keeping away the forces projecting “one culture, one nation and one history” concept, reported PTI. Gandhi was referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Addressing the huge crowd in Nagercoil in Kanyakumari district ahead of the Assembly elections scheduled for April 6, the Congress leader alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the ideological mentor of the ruling BJP, insult Tamil language and culture. He said that they should not be allowed to gain a foothold in the state.

“Modi talks about one culture, one nation, one history and one leader,” Gandhi said. “Is Tamil not an Indian language? Is Bengali not an Indian language? Is Tamil culture not Indian culture? This is the battle that is being fought in this election.”
