Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi bared his heart at a public rally in poll-bound Rajasthan, sharing his pain over the assassinations of his grandmother and father and spelling out why he dislikes the Bharatiya Janata Party’s politics.
“I saw my grandmother’s blood. I also saw the blood of her killers Beant Singh and Satwant Singh. I used to play with those who killed dadi (Indira Gandhi). I was angry with them for a long time after they killed my grandmother.
“I understand the pain of losing someone very close. My father (Rajiv Gandhi) too was killed… Anger over violence is natural but it only hurts common people. The BJP makes use of people's anger.”
Tearing into the BJP at the rally in Churu district, Gandhi added, “I am against BJP’s politics because they cause harm for political gains. They stoke fires — in Muzaffarnagar, Gujarat, Kashmir. We have to do the firefighting.”
“This is why I want India to stay together, stand together. The BJP divides people, but I want the people of India to be united.”
