Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the party defeated the ‘B’ team of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Telangana in the last Assembly elections and it was ready to defeat the BJP in the Parliament elections.
Releasing the Telugu version of the party’s election manifesto focusing on ‘Paanch Nyay’ at a massive public meeting at Tukkuguda on Saturday evening, Mr. Gandhi took potshots at both the BJP and the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and said Congress would defeat the BJP that was bent upon destroying the Constitution, which was country’s soul. He termed the BRS as the ‘B’ team of the BJP.
During his 30-minute speech, Mr. Gandhi touched the State and national issues and brought out similarities between the previous BRS rule here and the BJP’s rule at the Centre. He said the BRS tapped the phones of thousands of people illegally and the BJP was doing it similarly at the national-level.
