Narasimha Rao allowed demolition of Babri Masjid: Chinna Reddy

Hyderabad: AICC secretary G Chinna Reddy on Wednesday accused the late former prime minister, PV Narasimha Rao, of leading Muslims away from Congress.

As reported by the New Indian Express, speaking to media persons in Hyderabad, Reddy said Rao allowed the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992. He claimed that this is one of the reasons why the Gandhi family subsequently marginalised him.

Reddy slammed former President Pranab Mukherjee for attending an RSS meeting after leaving the office. Saying that Pranab Mukherjee got the Bharat Ratna for the gesture, he said, BJP does not praise former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as he remained loyal to Congress.
