Sultan Bathery (Wayanad), Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the ruling BJP at the Center of imposing the idea of "one leader in the country" and said it was an "insult" to the people of the country.
India is like a bouquet of flowers and each one should be respected as I promote the beauty of the entire bouquet, the Wayanad MP said.
He said, "The idea that there should be only one leader in India is an insult to every young Indian."
Gandhi was addressing party workers and voters in this highly rated constituency after a massive road show as part of his election campaign.
He asked why India cannot have more leaders and claimed that this ideology is the main difference between the Congress and the BJP.
The MP said that Congress wants to listen to the people of the country and love and respect their faith, language, religion and culture. He alleged, but BJP does not want to impose anything from above.
He said, "We did not get independence from the British to be colonized by the ideology of RSS. We want India to be ruled by all its people."
Gandhi, who is again trying his electoral luck from Wayanad, entered the Wayanad constituency for the second time after the Lok Sabha election date was announced. He kicked off the election campaign by filing his nomination papers and holding a massive road show in Wayanad earlier this month.
Gandhi won from Wayanad during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections by a record margin of 4,31,770 votes.
Voting for 20 Lok Sabha seats in Kerala will be held on April 26.
