Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday that the Bharatiya Janata Party wants to impose one history, one nation and one language on the people of India and this is what the Congress is protecting.
Addressing a public meeting here today, Rahul asked how one can come to Kerala or Tamil Nadu and say that there is going to be one language.
“By using ED and CBI as political weapons, the BJP is trying to change the nature of our country. The Congress and UDF accept the diversity of India. We accept the multiple languages, traditions, and different histories of all our people. The BJP wants to impose one history, one nation, and one language on the people,” he said.
“First of all, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what India is. How can you come to the people of Kerala, Tamil Nadu or West Bengal and say that there is going to be one language. You are insulting every single citizen of Kerala. Malyalam is not just a simple language; inside it is the hidden history, tragedy, and happiness of the Kerala people. How will a mother of Kerala explain the history of this great land to her children? How can she do it in English or Hindi?” Rahul Gandhi asked.
He emphasised that this is what the Congress is protecting.
Further, Rahul Gandhi put up a bouquet of flowers and said that this is what India looks like.
“Every colour is unique, and every flower has a different expression. Imagine if I said that only white flowers would remain here. There will be no leaves. That is what the BJP and RSS are trying to do. In Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, and India. It shows that they don’t understand India,” he said.
Rahul also mentioned that PM Modi recently visited Tamil Nadu and said there that he liked Dosas.
“The Prime Minister recently went to Tamil Nadu, which has brilliant poets. It has a huge history, and traditions. The PM here says that he likes Dosa. I also like Dosa, but please try to understand other things about the state as well. India can never be changed. You are wasting your time. You are creating disharmony that is harming millions of people,” he added.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Wednesday that North East plays a major role in making India a developed country and also emphasized that Congress did “injustice” with the northeast region while Communists “destroyed” the people of Tripura unlike his government which gives “priority” to the region.
Addressing a public rally in the state capital on Wednesday, Prime Minister Modi said, “North East ‘mere liye politics ka nahi, prem aur prathmikta ka vishay hai.”
Accusing the Congress and Communists for ruining the Northeast region,the PM said, “North East plays a major role in making India ‘Viksit’. After years of Independence and during the rule of Congress justice was not done with the capabilities of the states in North East. Communists ruled in Tripura and they just destroyed the people of Tripura. But, today in Delhi there is a government that continuously thinks about North East and Tripura. North East ‘mere liye politics ka nahi, prem aur prathmikta ka vishay hai.”
The Prime Minister stated that previously, political parties in the state only recalled the North East when they needed votes, adding that during Congress’ rule,”there was just one policy for the North East — the loot east policy”.
Listing out the benefits being provided to people due to technology, he said, “Today your mobile bill under the Modi government is Rs 400-Rs 500, but if therehad been a Congress government in Delhi, your mobile bill would not have been less than Rs 4000 or Rs 5000…Earlier, political parties only remembered the North East when they needed your votes. During Congress’ rule, only one policy was for the North East — loot east policy.”
Prime Minister Modi also claimed that corruption was at the peak when CPM and Congress were the major parties in Tripura. He said that the leftist parties made Tripura a hub for corruption and that they may look like rivals but both parties shared the same ideology.
