Nadda brands Congress as "communal" for its alliance with Ajmal-led AIUDF

PATACHURKUCHI: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president J P Nadda today termed the Congress party as "communal" for forging a pre-poll alliance with Badruddin Ajmal-led All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF).

"In Kerala, you (Congress) are contesting with Muslim League. In Bengal, you are contesting with Abbas. In Assam, you are . Look at an instance of mental bankruptcy -- in 2006, Tarun Gogoi said -- who is Badruddin? In 2021, his son embraces him and says -- he is Badruddin," Nadda said, addressing a rally at Patacharkuchi constituency, where Assam BJP president Ranjeet Dass will contest the polls.

Doubling down on his attacks on the party, Nadda said that Congress has embraced Badruddin who has thrown the 'gamusa' away.

Terming Rahul Gandhi as a 'political tourist', Nadda added that Rahul Gandhi, who was shown standing in front of tea gardens, was actually not clicked in those pictures in Assam.

They only come to Assam during election seasons. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi had visited more than 30 times in Assam State and every time he visited with schemes in various sectors.
