He further attacked Congress and the Samajwadi Party and said that these are two parties but have one shop where they sell appeasement, lies, ‘parivarvad’, and corruption.
“SP and Congress, ‘dal 2 hain, lekin dukaan ek hi hai’. They sell things like lies, appeasement and corruption. They have now come up with a ‘triple dose’ of appeasement. Congress and the SP want to divide the country’s budget and allot 15 per cent to minorities,” he added.
