Commenting on the Rana Sanga controversy, Chandrashekhar Azad criticised those exploiting such issues to advance their political agendas, accusing them of diverting public attention from real challenges.
He lamented that pressing issues like unemployment and inflation are being neglected, as the government focuses solely on communal narratives involving Hindus and Muslims.
Expressing deep concern over the situation in the country and particularly in Uttar Pradesh, Azad claimed that states ruled by the BJP are witnessing direct attacks on the Constitution. He warned that the very existence of the Bahujan community is under threat.
