Congress, Left blame TMC for rehearsing 'delicate Hindutva'

Senior TMC pioneer and MP Saugata Roy said working for different groups "is a piece of the TMC's approach" and it has nothing to do with assuaging a specific group.

"It has nothing to do with mollifying anybody. The TMC remains for secularism," Roy told.

At the point when gotten some information about the TMC sorting out the Brahmin tradition, Roy stated, "This is a disengaged occurrence. You ought not reach any inference from it."

TMC's Birbhum locale president Anubrata Mondal, the prime coordinator of the Brahmin tradition, had said the program was organized to feature the "misinterpretations" of Hinduism by the BJP and talk about what the Hindu religion remained for.

"The BJP doesn't have a copyright to Hindutva," another TMC pioneer said.

"From the ascent in our gathering's vote share in last few bypolls, the TMC has comprehended that Hindus are joining under the BJP's initiative. That is the reason they are currently attempting to satisfy the Hindus," BJP national secretary Rahul Sinha said.

State BJP president Dilip Ghosh said the TMC had understood that it would never again have the capacity to win decisions just by assuaging the Muslims and was endeavoring to charm Hindus with a "picture makeover".
