"Fascist, communal forces": Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot slams BJP during Bharat Jodo Yatra

The Congress party on Saturday slammed the BJP-led governments at the Centre and state and the ruling party’s parent outfit the RSS and alleged that the nation is facing challenges from fascist forces.

Addressing the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Karnataka’s Ballari, Congress leader and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said the nation is facing challenges from “fascist” forces.

Condemning what he called the “communal forces,” Mr Gehlot claimed that people are suffering due to unemployment and price rise.

Former Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah blamed the BJP and RSS for “disturbing peace” in the country by indulging in “communal” politics.
