There's difference in words, actions of Sangh, BJP, government: Mayawati
What's the story
BSP supremo Mayawati on Monday said RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remark that the DNA of all Indians is the same has not gone down well as there's a difference in the words and actions of the Sangh, the BJP, and the government.
She said Bhagwat's statement was like "Muh me Ram, bagal me chhuri," a Hindi proverb that translates to showing a two-faced nature.

Earlier on Sunday, while addressing an event organized by the Muslim Rashtriya Manch in Ghaziabad, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief said, "Hindu-Muslim unity is misleading as they're not different, but one. DNA of all Indians are same, irrespective of religion."

Support of RSS to BJP resulted in communal violence: Mayawati
Further, on Bhagwat's comment that uniting the society cannot be left to political parties, Mayawati said that he was cursing the country's politics by calling it divisive, which is not right.
"It is the result of the blind support of RSS to BJP and its governments that the poison of casteism, political hatred, and communal violence is plaguing normal life," she added.

Those indulging in politics will never understand Sangh's work: BJP
Meanwhile, reacting to Mayawati's statements, the Bhartiya Janta Party's (BJP's) UP spokesperson, Sakshi Diwakar, said that those indulging in dynastic politics, casteism, and corruption will neither understand nor like the work culture of the Sangh.
