New Delhi, 20th April. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a jibe at the Bharatiya Janata Party’s step to start an encroachment drive in Jahangirpuri area of Delhi and said that the bulldozers must be used to end hatred among people.

Gandhi tweeted, “This is a demolition of India’s constitutional values. This is state-sponsored targeting of the poor and minorities. BJP must bulldoze the hatred in their hearts instead.”
