In what has stoked a fresh political controversy, Congress veteran Ashok Gehlot has accused the BJP of communal politics and said that late prime minister Indira Gandhi would have banned it if she were alive today. Hitting back, the BJP has accused the Congress of being hateful towards Hindus and favouring the Muslims. Speaking at an award programme in Jaipur yesterday, Gehlot claimed that the atmosphere in the country today is "extremely dangerous" that he has not seen in his 50 years of public life.
"If a leader like Indira Gandhi were alive today, she would have banned a party like the BJP. I am saying with full responsibility that the atmosphere today is extremely dangerous. If the country still does not wake up, then the people of this country themselves will suffer the consequences later," he said.
