Mani shankar Aiyar, a senior leader of the party, has spread raita on Rahul’s soft Hindutva to revive the congress,
which is continuously losing elections. Iyer has said that it was a wrong decision of rajiv gandhi to lay the
foundation stone of the ram temple in Ayodhya. Iyer has also questioned the role of PV narasimha Rao, who
was the prime minister of the country at the time of Babri demolition. He has described Rao as the first Prime
Minister of BJP. Iyer made this statement at the release of his autobiography Memoirs of a Maverick - The First
Fifty Years (1941-1991)&.
Grabbing Mani Shankar’s statement, the bjp has targeted the Congress. bjp has also linked Aiyar’s statement
with the insult of narasimha Rao. Rao’s grandson has also attacked the congress high command. Experts say that
Mani Shankar’s statement can prove to be harmful for the congress, which is engaged in creating an image of soft
Hindutva through Rao. By the way, Aiyar is not the first leader, who is increasing the difficulties of the party to
;sell his book. There is a long list of such leaders in Congress.
congress, soft Hindutva plan and Rao’s role
After the humiliating defeat in the lok sabha elections in 2014 and 2019 and the assembly elections of 5 states in

Antony Committee formed to review the defeat. Under the strategy of soft Hindutva, congress leaders started
visiting the temple.

first time in any public program of the Congress.
