Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday launched an all-out attack on the BJP saying the country is going through an ideological battle between the INDIA bloc and the BJP and the RSS.
“The INDIA bloc is committed to defend democracy and the Constitution, but the BJP and the RSS are trying to dismantle its foundational principles,” said Mr. Gandhi in his first joint rally with Mr. Yadav in Amroha. He said as soon as the INDIA bloc formed the government, a caste census will be initiated. “Through caste census, people will know how many you are and what is your participation in India,” he said.
Mr. Gandhi attacked the BJP government for doing injustice to farmers, youths and underprivileged sections, and working for big capitalists and rich people.
