Maharashtra nucleus of Congress, strengthen party here: RaGa

While slamming Modi’s slogan of ‘Congress Mukt Bharat’, Gandhi said, “The British, who were the superpower of that time, could not finish Congress, then how can PM Modi do it? Congress defeated the British and was thrown out of India,” he said, adding that Maharashtra is the nucleus of the Congress

He added that PM Modi aims to win elections and defeat Congress with the help of Adani’s money and misusing the institutions. “But that will not happen. What happened in Karnataka will be repeated in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Telangana and even in Maharashtra. In the Lok Sabha elections, INDIA alliance will defeat the BJP,” Gandhi said. (Satish Bate/HT PHOTO)
