Jaipur, Jan 23 (PTI) Congress leader and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday alleged that the RSS and the BJP are distorting history and misleading the country, and said the youth should study history and think themselves.
The RSS and the BJP had no contribution in India"s freedom struggle and did not make any sacrifice, thus misleading the people, he charged.
