‘LAST EMBERS WILL REDUCE TO ASHES SOON’: TEJASVI SURYA HITS BACK

Responding to Congress’ blazing tweet, BJP’s firebrand leader hit back at the grand old party and termed the picture as representation of Congress politics. “The picture is symbolic of Congress politics – of lighting fires in the country. Fires they lit in the past has burnt them in most of India. The remaining embers in Rajasthan and Chattisgrah will also reduce to ashes very soon. Save this tweet.”

In another tweet, the BJP MP blamed the Congress party for 1984 anti-Sikh riots and 2002 Godhra train brning case. “Congress fire burnt Delhi in 1984. It’s ecosystem burnt alive 59 karsevaks in Godhra in 2002. They have again given their ecosystem a call for violence. With Rahul Gandhi ‘fighting against Indian State’, Congress ceases to be political party with faith in constitutional means”, Surya’s tweet read.

TAKE DOWN THE PICTURE IMMEDIATELY, DEMANDS BJP

Address a press conference, BJP’s spokesperson Sambit Patra asked the Congress party to take down the picture immediately. “It’s not ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ but ‘Bharat Todo’ and ‘Aag Lagao Yatra’. This is not the first time Congress Party has done so. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi do you want violence in this country? Congress should take down this picture immediately”, said Patra.
