When will Congress stop playing sloppy politics? Cards having Pt Deendayal Upadhyay's image exchanged for 'Gandhi at 150'

Bhopal, November 01: May it be a celebration or a protest, a strike or a development, Congress party in India has never failed to play sloppy and dusty politics. Rising in the celebrations of the State Formation Day, the ruling regime in Madhya Pradesh has blatantly moved up showing their ugly face for former RSS stalwart Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay on Friday.

 

 

 

The invitation cards published for the celebrations of the Foundation Day in MP's Hoshangabad were deliberately changed by the Congress, allegedly opposing the printing of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay's image on them. 

 

Also the already distributed invitation cards were diligently taken back in exchange for new ones where the logo of 'Gandhi at 150' was seen given importance. Pandit Upadhyaya was an Indian thinker of RSS ideology, and former leader of the political party Bharatiya Jana Sangh, the forerunner of Bharatiya Janata Party.

 

 

Upadhyaya borrowed the Gandhian principles such as progress for all, Indianisation, Gram Swaraj and these principles were appropriated selectively to give more importance to cultural-national values. These values were based on an individual's undisputed subservience to the nation as a corporate entity.

 

However, this is not the first time the Congress leaders have displayed their dislike for the former RSS stalwart and former president of the Jan Sangh, the political outfit that eventually became the BJP. In Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot’s government had removed Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyay’s name from state scholarship tests soon after it came to power last year.
