BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla shared the video of the Congress leader’s speech on Twitter and said: “This is the difference in thoughts & actions. For BJP & PM Modi - the poor have the first right on resources of the nation For Congress- one community has first right on the tijori / resources!

In a video shared by the VHP, protesters were seen writing "Haj House" on the walls of the party office using spray colours and defacing the photos of various Congress leaders on the banners put up in the premises.

Thakor recently endorsed former prime minister Manmohan Singh's views that minorities must have the first right on the resources of the country. He also called for an election manifesto for the minority communities and said the Congress has always supported the minorities and never changed its ideology, irrespective of whether it occupies power or not.
