NEW DELHI: The Congress is fighting a “hate-filled asuri shakti”, former party president Rahul Gandhi said on Thursday, days after his “fight against shakti” remark sparked controversy and drew a strong retort from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”Humari ‘asuri shakti’ se ladaai ho rahi hai, nafrat bhari ‘asuri shakti’ (We are fighting a demonic power, hate-filled demonic power),” Gandhi told reporters while leaving the All India Congress Committee headquarters here after addressing a press conference.The BJP hit back at Gandhi again for his remarks, saying when his comments created chaos in the whole country, he was talking about ‘asuri shakti’.”Two days ago, Rahul Gandhi said that there is a power in the Hindu religion, and we will fight against that. When it (Rahul Gandhi’s remark) created chaos in the whole country, now he is talking about Asuri Shakti’,” BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli said.
