Hitting back at UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for calling BJP communal, party chief Rajnath Singh today accused the Congress of practising politics of dividing people along religious lines.

Singh also criticised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his remarks that it would be "disastrous" if Narendra Modi became the PM, and said that it was his tenure which had been a disaster while Gujarat had become a model state under Modi.

"I want to remind Sonia Gandhi that it was Manmohan Singh who had said that Muslims have the first right on India's resources. If there is any party which takes decisions based on religious considerations, it is Congress. If there is any communal party, it is Congress," Singh said while speaking at the National Council meet of the BJP.
