New Delhi, Dec. 19: Declaring the BJP as its “enemy number one” politically and ideologically, the 83rd Congress Plenary Session on Sunday said the RSS and the VHP are insidious in their efforts to break India.
The two-day party plenary, which began Sunday, saw attacks on the main Opposition in the political resolution and speeches against the backdrop of the 2G, CWG and Adarsh Housing Society scams, Radiagate, the logjam in the Winter Session of parliament and the Bihar electoral defeat.
While the draft political resolution was harsh in its attack on the BJP, the Sangh Parivar and the Left, it was comparatively soft on the regional parties. Though it criticised the Telugu Desam and the Biju Janata Dal — its main rivals in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa — and the Janata Dal (U), it did not attack the AIADMK, the Janata Dal (S) or even the Shiv Sena or Shiromani Akali Dal. Moreover, there was no word about the Bahujan Samaj Party, the Samajwadi Party and the RJD, who are backing the Congress-led UPA at the Centre but opposing it in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
