New Delhi: In a scathing attack on the BJP, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday accused the saffron party saying the people ruling the country are spreading anger and hatred, and dividing the nation.

Rahul was at the inauguration of a building of Mukkam Muslim Orphanage when he said the result of the anger spread by the government reflects on the economy --- the increasing level of unemployment and sky-rocketing prices of commodities.

"Today, it is clear that people ruling our country are spreading anger, spreading hatred and dividing the country. You can see the result of the anger spread by our government. You can see what has happened to our economy, look at the level of unemployment, the skyrocketing prices," said Gandhi, who was on a two-day visit to Kerala.

All of this is because of individuals being separated and not working together, he said and proposed a discussion between people make them realise they all are the same, he said.

Gandhi further said people ought to be made to understand that assuming their neighbor is unhappy, would possibly involve a time when they would likewise end up being troubled. Hence, people should regard others as they treat themselves. "That is the task in front of us," he said.

Responding to hatred with hatred or anger was not the solution, the only way to fight hatred is through love and affection, he said.

Earlier in the day, he opened a Congress office in Wayanad where, he said, the office should be a weapon for the people of that district. Definitely, not for violence, he added.
