Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday used the anniversary of the Dandi March to target the Congress and said the "anti-thesis" of Gandhian thought is the opposition party's culture.
In a blog post to mark the 89th anniversary of the Dandi March, he said, Mahatma Gandhi "taught us to think of the plight of the poorest person" and "we have seen and thought about how our work impacts that person."
The prime minister said that while Gandhi did not believe in inequality and caste divisions, "sadly, the Congress has never hesitated from dividing society."
Continuing his attack, the prime minister said though Gandhi held that detachment and staying away from excess wealth was necessary, "all that the Congress has done is to fill their own bank accounts and lead luxurious lifestyles at the cost of providing basic necessities to the poor."
