Accusing the BJP and the Shiv Sena of being hand-in-glove, Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday said their “only aim is to spread hatred” and asked the voters not to be misled by their “mask of development”.
She also claimed that “social tension” in the BJP-ruled States was impeding their growth. “Today BJP and Shiv Sena are making you believe they are fighting their battles separately, but in reality they are one and only causing confusion among voters. Don't lower your guard and don't be misled by their mask of development," she said addressing an election rally here.
She said the two saffron parties only spread hatred among the people. “You have tried them before. Don’t you remember what happened while they were in powerIJ Vasooli (extortion) was rampant and there was an atmosphere of fear everywhere. Their aim is to spread hatred among people and make people fight each other,” she said.
