Union Minister Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on the Congress party, alleging the involvement of “foreign forces” in crafting their election manifesto.
Speaking at a rally in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur, Anurag Thakur asserted that alongside the Congress’s hand, foreign entities were influencing the manifesto to serve divisive agendas, including redistributing children’s property to Muslims and compromising the nation’s nuclear capabilities.
“The tukde-tukde gang has completely surrounded Congress and hijacked their ideology. You must decide whether children’s property should remain with them or be handed over to Muslims,” Anurag Thakur proclaimed, emphasising a controversial narrative that has dominated the election discourse.
The remarks by Anurag Thakur echo a broader clash between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and opposition leaders, particularly centred around claims that the Congress intends to redistribute wealth among Muslims.
Modi, at recent rallies in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, accused the Congress of stating that Muslims have the first right to the country’s resources, sparking intense debate and criticism.
In response, BJP Chief JP Nadda reinforced Modi’s stance in a video message, condemning what he termed as “appeasement politics” by the Congress and alleging that their manifesto reflects a “Muslim League imprint.”
This escalation follows notices issued by the Election Commission to both major parties based on complaints related to contentious remarks made during campaign speeches. The Election Commission’s intervention underscores the heightened tensions and polarized rhetoric characterising India’s election season.
The discourse surrounding the Congress manifesto has become a focal point in the electoral landscape, with parties trading barbs over policy intentions and national priorities, reflecting the charged atmosphere leading up to the Lok Sabha elections.
