BJP Attacks Congress Over North-South Divide, Remarks on Hindu Deities
A Bharatiya Janata Party leader addressed a press conference, criticising the Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The spokesperson accused the opposition party of attempting to divide Hindu society along regional lines, specifically contrasting northern and southern India, as well as dividing communities by caste, language, and gender. He cited statements regarding revenue contributions and Aryan-Dravidian theories, while also recalling remarks concerning DNA and regional identity. Addressing arguments regarding Hindu deities, the speaker contested assertions contrasting Lord Shiva and Lord Ram by citing classical scriptures, including the Shiva Purana and Ramcharitmanas, arguing that both traditions are deeply interconnected. Furthermore, he highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's spiritual visits, naming the lunar south pole landing site as Shiv Shakti Point, and contrasted this with Rahul Gandhi's political stance, alleging that the Congress party views religious traditions through an external, divisive lens.
