NEW DELHI, 24 February, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday while going harsh on the former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, BJP national President J.P. Nadda said that “the Congress leader has a habit of dividing people”.

Taking a dig at the comments made by Rahul Gandhi in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, Nadda tweeted, “A few days back he (Rahul Gandhi) was in the Northeast, spewing venom against the Western part of India. Today in the South he is spewing venom against the North. Divide and rule politics won’t work Rahul Gandhiji. People have rejected this policy and see what happened in Gujarat today,” referring to BJP’s massive victory in the Gujarat municipal polls.”

Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi said in Thiruvananthapuram, “For the first 15 years, I was an MP in the north. I had got used to a different type of politics. For me, coming to Kerala was very refreshing as suddenly I found that people are interested in issues and not just superficially but going into detail in issues.”

However, as it is sensed that the Congress leaders’ comment triggered a north vs. south debate as he described his stint as a Lok Sabha member from Wayanand in Kerala as ‘refreshing’ after 15 years of representing Amethi in the Lok Sabha.
