He said BJP exploited the emotions of people in elections but shared power with ideological opponents which shows its lust for power, it is still running after other parties with whom BJP has nothing common but it will not succeed in its mission to grab power, as people have seen the real face of BJP and its sister organizations and parties who have no base but seek votes on different agenda with a view to divide opposition votes to help BJP. People understand it nicely and will defeat the deceptive politics and shall vote for congress which is secular, progressive and unifying force in the country.
