BJP workers protest against Congress' manifesto in Delhi

The Delhi unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday staged a protest against Congress' manifesto near the party headquarters.

Delhi BJP President Virendraa Sachdeva was also present at the protest.

The protesting workers claimed that Rahul Gandhi has been indulging in politics to disintegrate India. The BJP also said that the Congress manifesto for the Lok Sabha polls was an "insult" to the culture of the country.


Ahead of Lok Sabha polls, the BJP including Prime Minister Narendra Modi have launched a frontal attack on the Congress alleging its manifesto smacks of appeasement and that if it came to power, it would redistribute people's wealth and also give reservations to Muslims from the quotas for SC, ST and OBC communities.

Senior BJP leaders, including national general secretary Tarun Chugh, Delhi state president Virendra Sachdeva, and Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha president Richa Pandey, took part in the protest.

Chugh said the manifesto of the Congress "conspired" to "snatch away" property and jewellery of women and give it to the minorities.

He alleged the Congress manifesto was an "insult" to the culture of the country and that Gandhi was indulging in politics to disintegrate India.

"The manifesto of Congress is full of appeasement and it will weaken the country," PTI quoted Sachdeva as saying.
