Madurai: Finance Minister P Chidambaram accused the BJP of deliberately attempting to polarise voters by raking up “poisonous and divisive” issues like Ram Temple in Ayodhya to consolidate its vote bank without bothering about those who will not vote for them.
Addressing a press conference here, he said what was of great concern in the BJP manifesto was the inclusion of issues that would divide the country, create controversies and disrupt social harmony.
Chidambaram described as “poisonous thoughts” the BJP’s manifesto promises on the issue of construction of Ram Temple in Ayodhya in the place where Babri Masjid stood, imposition of uniform civil code on all and abrogation of the special status to Jammu and Kashmir. (PTI)
