Congress Doing "Political Gimmickry" Through Bharat Jodo Yatra: RSS

Bharat Jodo Yatra: RSS leader said that the Congress wants to connect people through hatred and "political gimmickry" that would not serve the purposes of uniting the masses.

National Joint Secretary of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Dr Manmohan Vaidya on Monday slammed the Congress over its Bharat Jodo Yatra accusing the party of doing political gimmickry.

"The Congress wants to connect people through hatred and political gimmickry that would not serve the purposes of uniting masses.

Congress harboured hatred for RSS and tried to prevent it but the outfit expanded with the support of society," Mr Vaidya said.

"If anyone does a job of connecting people of India it is a good thing but how do you connect through hatred or love? The spiritual identity of India is called Hindutva in the world. Hindutva is not just a religion. If anyone tries to unite the country by recognizing the element that associates people in the true sense, then he or she is welcomed," he added.
