Stepping up attack, the Congress on June 8 accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of promoting its leaders who "spew venom" and questioned the Prime Minister for keeping "silent" even after India faced international condemnation over the remarks of the ruling party's now-sacked spokespersons.
The Opposition party also alleged that yesterday's fringe is today's mainstream in the BJP and "the fringe today will be its mainstream tomorrow".
