Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP-led Centre on Monday of not acknowledging the development witnessed under the previous dispensations and following a policy of “changing names”, instead of focusing on work.
The government is “not a democratic one” and is following a policy of “divide and rule”, Kharge alleged in his remarks at the Nehru Memorial Lecture that was delivered by leading academic Purushottam Agrawal at the Jawahar Bhawan here.
“Earlier, the Nehru Memorial Lecture used to happen at (the) Teen Murti (Bhavan) where his (Nehru’s) views and ideas were put forward. But this government is not even allowing giving place there for putting forward Nehru’s ideas,” he said.
