Appeasement is in Congress’ DNA-Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam chief minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Himanta Biswa Sarma was in Uttarakhand to campaign for the BJP for the upcoming Assembly election in the hill state. Addressing a rally in Kichcha on Friday, Sarma  hit out at Rahul Gandhi over his “union of states” remark saying the Congress is indulging into the politics of polarisation. Sometimes they say India is not a nation, but a union of states. Hearing all this makes one feel if Jinnah's soul has entered into the Congress, he said. Sarma  said his party never sought proof of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi being the son of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. He said this while hitting out at the Congress for repeatedly raising doubts about India’s surgical strikes and vaccines against the coronavirus disease.

Appeasement is in Congress’ DNA. It has worked relentlessly to appease the Muslims for getting their votes. But instead of working for their advancement, the party wants the Muslims to remain backward and hence is promoting madrassas and hijab. pic.twitter.com/a4eBLSTvaB
