Hitting out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on the second day of the Kerala leg of the Bharat Jodo Yatra on Monday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said elections could be won with hatred, violence, and anger, but the country cannot achieve anything without a spirit of harmony.
"This BJP has proved that you cannot solve the employment problem or address high prices with arrogance and hatred. You have to accept first as a leader that wisdom lies with the people of India. Once you understand that, the next step has to be to listen and understand what they are saying. That is also the spirit of this Bharat Jodo Yatra that the Congress party has undertaken," he said.
Addressing a large crowd at a public meeting at Kazhakuttam in the capital, Mr. Gandhi said the atmosphere of fear and anger in the country was being generated by an ideology that was diametrically opposite to the spirit of Kerala and its great social reformers, including Sree Narayana Guru.
