The All India Congress Committee (AICC) president M. Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday countered Prime Minister Narendra Modi for questioning the contributions of the Congress since Independence and observed that his party was uniting the country while the BJP was trying to divide India.
Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra was testimony to what the Congress has been doing to bond the country and its people, and he has a long list of what his party and leaders have done for the country in the last 50 years, said Mr. Kharge.
In his address at the launch of Gruha Lakshmi scheme in the presence of Mr. Gandhi, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, AICC general secretaries K.C. Venugopal and Randeep Surjewala, and senior party leaders and Ministers, here, he said Mr. Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah had derided the Congress’ guarantees and the BJP leaders expected Karnataka would go bankrupt by implementing the guarantees.
