At the same time, the political resolution of the Congress says that they should unite without forming a third front. BJP should not benefit from division. All opposition parties with similar ideology should come under one umbrella. The political resolution also says that if the Congress comes to power, it will introduce a law against hate crimes. BJP is misusing the constitution and constitutional institutions. Trying to usurp the power of the states using the governors. The resolution also states that this should be prevented.
