General secretary and chairman communication wing of the PCC Shailesh Nitin Trivedi on Friday alleged that the BJP has dual character.
Condemning the ‘shameful’ statements of BJP candidate from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and spokesperson of the saffron party’s Madhya Pradesh unit Anil Saumitra, Trivedi said the BJP should expel them from the party rather than issuing mere suspension notices.
Trivedi also demanded apologies from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP’s national president Amit Shah over the statements on Mahatma Gandhi and Godse by them.
It was the power of Mahatma Gandhi that the the Modi and Shah had to convene a joint press conference, he further added.
The Congress leader further commented that as it was an election time the BJP took the action against Pragya and Saumitra.
“If there were no elections, then their stand would have been different. They might have been even defended the two”, he opined.
