The Congress is leaving no stone unturned to get the country "burnt and destroyed" but Prime Minister Narendra Modi will never allow its intention to succeed, the BJP asserted on Sunday.

BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra hurled the accusation against the Congress while praising the prime minister for working relentlessly to resolve long-pending issues like Article 370, triple talaq, Ram Mandir and the grant of citizenship to the persecuted religious minorities of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, staying in India's refuge.

Patra, who reached here this morning as part of the BJP's country-wide campaign to educate people about the Citzenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 amid the widespread violence over changes in the citizenship law, blamed Congress for the protests and said "it is leaving no stone unturned to see to it that the country gets burnt and destroyed".

"As far as the Congress is concerned, the main aim of the party is to distort, divide and destroy India - this three 'D' of Congress party is known since its inception and we have seen the country was divided on religious lines way back in 1947 because of the Congress party which has been reiterated by (Home Minister) Amit Shah on the floor of Parliament," the BJP leader told reporters here.

He said Modi has strong resolve and will never let "this type of intention" of the Congress party to succeed.

Referring to the BJP mantra of 'Sab ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas and Sab Ka Vishwas', he said, "Whatever is good for the country will be done by Modi."
In response to a question about the Congress remarks that the "unconstitutional" legislation will not be implemented in the party-ruled states, he said, "Constitutionally, these states cannot refuse and they have to abide by what the Parliament has already legislated upon."
