Patna: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on July 5 decided to launch a nation-wide campaign to dislodge the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government from power at the Centre, accusing it of spreading communal hatred in the country.

The Bihar Chief Minister, Rabri Devi, asked party workers to launch a campaign across the country to mobilise people for the ouster of the ''communal and fascist'' government at the Centre.

Addressing party workers on the occasion of the RJD's sixth foundation day, she alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s real face was exposed in Gujarat where the Narendra Modi government let loose communal forces to kill thousands of innocent people from minority communities. "Besides, by electing Vinay Katiyar as the party chief in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has made its communal agenda clear."

The party also flayed the Central government for pursuing anti-poor and anti-farmer economic policies under instructions from the US, World Bank and multinational corporations.

Adopting an economic resolution, the party criticised the disinvestment policy of the Union government, allowing foreign direct investment (FDI) in the print media and vowed to continue struggle against the retrogressive economic policies of the Vajpayee government.
