BJP leader and Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia was scathing in his criticism of the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance or INDIA bloc during the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
He accused the alliance of using the violence in Manipur as a “launchpad” for itself and politicising the issue and blamed his previous party, the Congress, for the problems in the northeastern State. “All problems in NE started with appeasement politics of the Congress when they allowed intruders inside the border,” he said.
Hitting out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks that the Prime Minister does not consider Manipur a part of India, Mr. Scindia said, “Seeing (regions of) India as different parts is your thought process, not ours.”
