Congress leader Rahul Gandhi tore into the BJP and its ideological parent RSS in public addresses in Dallas in the US. The Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha spoke on wide-ranging issues in his interactions with students at the University of Texas and in an address to members of Indian diaspora.
The BJP has reacted sharply to the remarks, saying that Mr Gandhi has a habit of insulting India.
Addressing the Indian diaspora, Mr Gandhi said the RSS believes India is one idea, while the Congress considers it a multiplicity of ideas. "That is the fight," he said.
