Pandey said the BJP's post on 'X' was a reflection of the party's frustration. "After Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, a politics of peace and brotherhood has started in the country. The BJP is unable to digest it and is trying to divide the people through politics of hatred."

He said, "People are aware and alert. They have realised that they should not fall in such traps. BJP's top leadership including Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been spending sleepless nights. Frustration can be be seen on their faces."

Thakur said people of the country will soon decide who is Ram and who is Ravan. "The BJP is scared with Rahul Gandhi's popularity. They (BJP) are indulging in unethical deeds ahead of assembly polls scheduled in five states. People will teach the BJP a lesson like they did in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh," he said.
