Addressing reporters here, he further alleged that communal hatred has gone to extreme levels with the ruling party's attempt to polarise society. BJP has resorted to politics of vengeance in order to hide the total failure in administration.
He said programmes in temples were being used as tools for propagating communal ideology. Non-Hindus were not being allowed to do business at temple fairs.
Rai cautioned that BJP's campaign to instigate communal hatred would ultimately lead to racial hatred. The ruling party should stop votebank politics on the basis of religion to avoid further disaster, he said.
