Former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha took a jibe at the BJP saying the party is using the language of 'dictatorship' because they want to create a communal divide among the people of Delhi before elections. Concluding the 5,000 kilometers long 'Gandhi Shanti Yatra', Sinha claimed that Gandhi's ideology still alive in the mind of people and those who want to promote Nathuram Godse shall never prevail.

New Delhi: Marking the conclusion of 5,000 kilometers long 'Gandhi Shanti Yatra' beginning from Gateway of India to Rajghat, Former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha on Thursday said that I found that people have still faith in Mahatma Gandhi and his ideology of non-violence and truth.

Yashwant Sinha said, "There is still so much regard for Gandhi in the minds of people of this country that those who want to promote Nathuram Godse shall never prevail."

Speaking on BJP leader Parvesh Verma's speech for comparing Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to a terrorist, Sinha said the language which they are using is completely a language of "dictatorship".

He added, "They (BJP) know that they are losing Delhi elections, they are using such languages because they want to create a communal divide among the people of Delhi before elections."

Yashwant Sinha said that the agenda of the BJP has now become clear in front of the people of the country. In every election, they have only one agenda and that is Hindu-Muslim and if anything is left behind they bring Pakistan into it.

"So, BJP has only three words in their vocabulary: Hindu, Muslim and Pakistan, after this they don't know what's the fourth word," added Sinha.

Yashwant Sinha said people are not afraid of BJP's communal remarks and such statements will not affect their mindset. They want to live a simple life and they don't want violence in the name of religion.
