BJP President Rajnath Singh said the party condemns attempts by some quarters to promote regionalism and asserted that it will “neither recognise regionalism nor will it allow it to flourish”.
Without naming Shiv Sena or Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, Singh said some parties are indulging in the politics of religion, sect and casteism to “gain new grounds and to save their existence”.
“But our politics is for society and ideology,” he said addressing a womens’ conference in New Delhi organised by the party’s young wing.
At the same venue, the party’s Prime Ministerial face L K Advani later spoke about erstwhile Jan Sangh’s agitation in the 1950s against the “two constitutions, two prime ministers and two flags” concept in Jammu and Kashmir.
Both Advani and Singh stressed that the BJP and its previous avatar Jan Sangh had worked for the unity and integrity of India.
The comments came close on the heels of Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray’s remarks on Biharis, which was seen as an attempt to recapture his party’s Marathi sons-of-the-soil plank being hijacked by MNS leader Raj Thackeray.
