The BJP's ideology teaches its followers to work for everyone irrespective of caste and creed, and it was not against Muslims, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said.
The people's hopes and dreams will be fulfilled if the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance wins the January 15 election to the Nagpur Municipal Corporation with a full majority, and he will himself guarantee the candidates' performance, Gadkari said, campaigning in the city on
Friday.
The senior BJP leader, who held three public meetings, sought to dispel misconceptions about his party. "We are not against Muslims, but we are against terrorists and Pakistan.
The Muslims who commit sacrifices for this country are as dear to us as are the Hindus. One may go to a mosque, gurdwara, or Buddh vihar. But, we say that our blood is the same, we are Bharatiya, and we work for all," the Union minister added.
