Congress general secretary in charge of Karnataka Randeep Surjewala also called the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the “modern company of East India” which is disturbed by the spread of Gandhian ideology.

“The BJP, which is the modern East India Company, is severely disturbed and upset by the events that have been organized to mark 100 years since Mahatma Gandhi became the Congress President in Belagavi.

“The ideology of (Nathuram) Godse, who avoided the Constitution of India and did not unfurl the tricolor for over six decades, should stop making petty excuses,” Surjewala said after the BJP criticized the Congress for displaying a map of India in his posters which did not include Aksai Chin in Jammu and Kashmir.

“They opposed Gandhiji when he was alive and seek to annihilate his thought after he was assassinated by the same forces of violence and division. But let it not be forgotten that Gandhi lives on in the hearts of millions and will continue to guide India and the world long beyond their vengeful times,” the Congress leader said.

He said that the Congress is celebrating 100 years of Gandhi’s Congress presidency and will continue to spread his ideology and follow his ideals, which the BJP will never understand or tolerate.
