'A leader like Indira Gandhi would have banned a party like the BJP': Ashok Gehlot

"There is a need to strengthen the INDIA alliance... I also stated that INDIA alliance should openly give leadership to Rahul Gandhi... Back in the day, during Indira Gandhi's time, it was Congress versus all other parties... The 'Congress hatao, desh bachao' campaign was launched against Indira Gandhi, yet within just two and a half years, the public brought her back to power... When the public realises—and truly stands with the Congress—then the parties currently allied with the NDA and the BJP will turn against the BJP... In my lifetime, I have witnessed many situations, but the atmosphere in the country today is dangerous... What is their (BJP) mindset? They are weakening the country by deliberately pushing a religious agenda—targeting Muslims... They do this to show the citizens that they are a 'Hindutva' party... If a leader like Indira Gandhi were alive today, she would have banned a party like the BJP."
