Accusing the BJP of using religion for political gains, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has said the use of 'bhagwa' (saffron colour) to win votes is an "insult" to seers and also alleged that the party's thinking and principles are similar to those of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Baghel said his Congress party has always worked to unite people and alleged that it is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which has used the name of Lord Ram to divide people. The Congress seems to be seeking to beat the BJP at its Hindutva game in Chhattisgarh which will go to assembly polls next year.
