AICC general secretary and Karnataka in-charge Randeep Singh Surjewala has termed the BJP as the new East India Company that is following the British’s divide and rule policy.
Addressing a press conference in Hubballi on Wednesday holding an empty vessel in his hand, which, he said, is the gift of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Karnataka, Mr. Surjewala said that as the BJP and the Prime Minister have done nothing in the last 10 years of their rule, they have returned to the divide and hate politics for seeking votes. Moreover, double standard is in the DNA of the BJP, he said.
He said that during the election campaign in 2014, Mr. Modi had talked about hope which has turned into hatred now.
