Kottayam: Speaking at an election rally organized in front of the two places of worship situated on two sides of the road at Erumeli in Kottayam district, Shri Rahul Gandhi hailed the practice of people visiting the Vavar mosque and the Ayyappa temple at Erumeli before heading to the Sabarimala temple.

The Congress leader hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the RSS, accusing them of dividing people on the lines of religion.”This is the idea that is under attack in India.Our Prime Minister and the RSS spend their whole time and whole life trying to dig up this road (the road to religious harmony).They create hatred and anger so that people who believe in one idea fight with people who believe in the other idea,” Shri Gandhi alleged.

He appealed to people by saying, “Support an ideology that’s affectionate, that believes in brotherhood and in bringing people together. That is why you should support the UDF and the Congress.”

Earlier, addressing corner meetings at various constituencies in Pathanamthitta district, Shri Gandhi claimed that the Congress-UDF manifesto is a people’s manifesto, a manifesto which will give wings to citizens’ dreams.
