Union minister Piyush Goyal on Friday slammed the Congress for “instigating” youngsters, spreading violence and deliberately confusing people about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). Without naming the Shiv Sena, Goyal also taunted the former ally of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its “confused stand” on CAA, and questioned its Hindutva credentials.

The Union railway minister was speaking at the Indian Merchant’s Chamber Centre at Churchgate as part of the BJP’s 10-day outreach programme to clarify misconceptions about CAA. “The Opposition is either confused or there is a deliberate plan to mislead people. They are trying to instigate youngsters and spread violence,’’ said Goyal, adding, “The Congress is losing ground in every state and struggling to stay relevant in India. Even in Maharashtra, where they ruled at one time, they now stand in the fourth position. So, now they are trying to reach out to a certain class to instigate them to commit violence by creating fear among them.” Goyal also slammed the Sena, stating that the party had made big promises about Hindutva, but has now turned away from them.
