The Congress said on Tuesday that the revolt by Maharashtra BJP leader Gopinath Munde reflected the “exclusivist syndrome” of the Opposition party.“Primarily, it is an internal matter of the party. But I cannot help saying it reflects the exclusivist syndrome of the BJP,” said AICC spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi at a press briefing here.He said the concerns raised by Munde reflect “the real face, the real philosophy of the BJP, which certainly cannot be called inclusive”. He added: “It certainly cannot be called pro-Dalit or pro-backward.”He referred to RSS chief K S Sudarshan’s call for a revamp of the Constitution and the BJP’s “indirect, muted, de facto opposition” to the OBC quota. “There is a consistency about BJP’s approach and philosophy, of shedding crocodile tears for backwards and Dalits and really opposing tooth and nail every welfare measure,” said Singhvi.“The exclusivist syndrome is obviously giving rise to concerns across the spectrum of the BJP,” he remarked.
