New Delhi [India]: Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha and Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'divide and rule' comment in the Parliament saying said that it applies only to him.
Kharge said, "What the Prime Minister has said applies only to him. To divide every party, sabotaging people in the name of religion and caste, they are ruling by dividing. Wherever there is a stable government, they are destabilizing it."
"Purchasing MLAs and MPs, this is their work. This is their habit and naturally, they are compelled by their habits of spreading lies," alleged Kharge.

Lashing out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, he said, "This is democracy and to keep it alive, we are running by the Constitution. So, if the public is casting their votes based on their choices, then let them do it. We try to work. But, they are spreading confusion today, who have come to power by telling lies."
"They are making people awry; imposing their ideologies on people and diving society. They are the people who were born after independence and they say Congress didn't do anything for the country. They are saying all these things out of frustration," he added.
Further slamming PM Modi for his "paap" of pushing migrant labourers into difficulties during COVID comment, Kharge alleged that such statements are made as the Centre has no data and is "trying to hide mistakes."
