New Delhi:

Congress

on Friday said PM Modi and BJP chief JP

Nadda

were resorting to polarisation as they were fearful of losing Lok Sabha elections. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said Nadda presented former PM Manmohan Singh's comments in a wrong context.

"Nadda's allegations are based on lies. It seems that he is following PM Modi and has turned to falsehood," Ramesh said.

"The real thing is that BJP is panicking. The prime minister and BJP chief know that their party is wiped out in the south and is halved in the north. They fear that they are losing this election. Their only strategy is polarisation, polarisation and polarisation," he said on X.

The party's reaction came after Nadda claimed that Congress intended to snatch the rights of SCs, STs and OBCs to benefit Muslims. BJP chief also cited then PM Manmohan Singh's 2006 statement in which he had said that minorities, especially Muslims, had the first right on the country's resources.

Congress also questioned the logic of EC issuing notice to Nadda in response to a complaint against Modi. Addressing a press conference, party spokesperson Pawan Khera said EC appeared to be "too scared to issue notice to the PM".

Referring to the PM's controversial statements, Khera said while Modi is busy raking up irrelevant issues like "machhli-mangalsutra-musalmaan", people are talking about jobs. He accused Modi of lowering the dignity of PM's position by resorting to divisive and polarising speech and instigating one community against the other.
