Congress manifesto reflects hopes of 140 crore people: Mallikarju Kharge hits back at PM Modi

April 8, 2024

New Delhi: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for equating the Congress manifesto with ‘Muslim League ideology’, saying the manifesto reflects the hopes and aspirations of 140 crore people of India.

The Congress chief alleged that “Modi-Shah’s political and ideological ancestors supported the British and Muslim League against the Indians in the freedom struggle”.

In a series of long posts on X, he said, “Even today, they are invoking the Muslim League against the ‘Congress Nyay Patra’ guided and shaped according to the aspirations, needs and demands of common Indians”.
“Modi-Shah’s ideological ancestors opposed Mahatma Gandhi’s call for “Quit India” in 1942, which was the movement chaired by Maulana Azad,” Kharge said.

Everyone knows how Prasad Mukherjee formed his governments in Bengal, Sindh and NWFP in the 1940s in coalition with the Muslim League, he added.

His post added: “Did Shyama Prasad Mukherjee not write to the then British Governor about how the Quit India movement of 1942 can be “combated” and how the Congress should be suppressed? And for this, he said that “Indians have to trust the British”?

“Modi-Shah and their Nominated President are today spreading falsehood about the Congress Manifesto,” Kharge alleged.

The Congress chief claimed, “There is a stink of RSS in Modi ji’s speeches, BJP’s electoral graph is plunging day by day, therefore the RSS has started remembering its best friend-the Muslim League !”

“There is only one truth – The Congress’s Nyay Patra reflects the hopes and aspirations of 140 crore people of India. Their combined strength will put an end to Modi ji’s 10 years of INJUSTICE !”, he said.
