BJP minister Vishvas Sarang criticised former Congress chief Digvijaya Singh for his recent remarks on Hindutva, calling the language divisive.
In a public statement, Madhya Pradesh minister Vishvas Sarang took issue with comments made by senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on the concept of Hindutva. Sarang described the remarks as an attempt to create communal fault lines and labeled them as "politics of division."
Singh, who has long been a vocal figure in national politics, had earlier spoken about Hindutva in a forum, suggesting that the ideology needed to be examined critically. While he did not elaborate on policy implications, his remarks sparked a swift reaction from the ruling party in the state.
Sarang, representing the Bharatiya Janata Party, urged political leaders to avoid language that could polarise communities and called for a focus on development and harmony instead. He emphasized that the state's governance should be guided by inclusive principles rather than divisive rhetoric.
The exchange underscores the continuing ideological contest between the BJP and Congress at both state and national levels, with Hindutva remaining a flashpoint in political discourse.
