Congress reports Modi’s remarks on manifesto to Election Commission

The Congress on April 8 raised a complaint with the Election Commission of India (EC) against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comment that the Congress manifesto carried the imprint of the Muslim League, with “every page reeking of breaking India”.

In a separate post on X, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge claimed that the BJP’s electoral graph was plummeting and that was why “the Rashtriya Swayansevak Sangh (RSS) is remembering its best friend: the Muslim League”.

Accusing the BJP’s political and ideological ancestors of supporting the British and Muslim League against Indians during the freedom struggle, he went on to say, “Everyone knows how Shyama Prasad Mukherjee formed his governments in Bengal, Sindh and Nort West Frontier Province in the 1940s in coalition with the Muslim League?”
