"It is the double speak of the party. Mr. Modi cannot wash his hands of. This is a Fascist ideology, supported by the BJP and Narendra Modi. He is carrying forward the agenda of RSS. The political agenda of the RSS is to divide the nation and to remain in power and to seek power and I think he is badly exposed," Joshi told ANI here.

Joshi also said it is unfortunate, as Prime Minister Modi has washed his hands on the Dadri incident and said the central government has nothing to do with it.
