JP Nadda slams Opposition over 'vote bank' politics

| @indiablooms | Apr 18, 2022, at 06:36 pm

New Delhi/UNI: BJP national president JP Nadda on Monday launched a counter-attack at the opposition parties which last week issued an appeal for communal harmony accusing the Narendra Modi-led central government of being categorically mute over incidents of communal violence that rocked several states back to back starting Ram Navami.

Nadda, in a statement said the "dusted and rusted approach" of vote bank politics, divisive politics, and selective politics is no longer working.

He said "rejected and dejected" parties are "once again taking refuge in vote banks and divisive politics."

He also mentioned several incidents of the past trying to draw a parallel that communal violence was not new and had been there since the 1960s when the Congress were at the helm in Delhi.

"Today, India is seeing two distinctive styles of politics: the NDA's efforts which are seen in their work and the petty politics of a group of parties, which is seen in their acerbic words.

"In the last few days, we have seen these parties come together yet again in letter (whether in spirit too, time will tell) in which they have waged a direct onslaught on the spirit of our nation and cast aspersions on our hard working citizens."
