Modi-Shah attempt to incite people will not succeed: Congress

Mumbai, Nov 8 (UNI) Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of appealing for votes on the basis of caste and religion "as they sense imminent defeat", the Congress on Friday said people of Maharashtra will not tolerate their efforts to divide people.
Alleging that caste-based hierarchy is ingrained in BJP’s ideology, state Congress president Nana Patole said the BJP has "committed the sin" of inciting tensions between castes, and Modi should not blame Congress for this.
"In the sacred land of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the people of Maharashtra will not tolerate Modi and Shah's attempts to create political divides based on caste and religion," said Patole.
