‘Whether we like it or not’: Rahul Gandhi says Congress’ ideology overshadowed by BJP-RSS
New Delhi, Nov. 13: The ‘loving’ ideology of the Congress is alive and vibrant, but has been overshadowed by the ‘hateful’ ideology of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS)-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) combine, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Friday, as he virtually addressed the launch of the party’s digital media campaign for its upcoming Jan Jagran Abhiyan, which will be launched across the country on November 14. “Today, whether we like it or not, the hateful ideology of the RSS and BJP has overshadowed the loving, affectionate and nationalistic ideology of the Congress party. Our ideology is alive, vibrant, but it has been overshadowed,” Gandhi, a vocal critic of the ruling BJP and its ideological mentor RSS, said, according to news agency ANI.
Today, whether we like it or not the hateful ideology of RSS & BJP has overshadowed the loving, affectionate and nationalistic ideology of Congress Party, we have to accept this. Our ideology is alive, vibrant but it has been overshadowed: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi
The reason for this, he said, was the grand old party’s ‘failure’ at propagation of its ideology. “Our ideology has been overshadowed because we’ve not propagated it aggressively among our own people,” the former Congress president explained.
The Lok Sabha MP from Kerala’s Wayanad then sought to know if Hinduism and Hindutva could be the same. “If they’re the same thing, why don’t they have the same name? They’re obviously different. Is Hinduism about beating a Sikh or a Muslim? Hindutva of course is,” he said.
