‘Will oust BJP like Britishers’

We want to empower you but BJP wants to hand over power to one man,’ Rahul said while addressing a public rally.
‘BJP leaders who call themselves Hindu haven’t read the Gita. Had they opened it, they would have realised Congress is not just an organisation but an ideology and no one can touch it,’ he said.
‘Those who tried to erase that ideology were driven out of the country. It was the Congress but its ideology which defeated the British. The way Congress drove Britishers out with love, in the same way, it will drive out BJP,’ he said. The Congress leader also launched a veiled attack on BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, saying ‘in Gujarat, three corrupt ministers are sitting in the cabinet but their leader doesn’t see corruption.’
‘They (BJP) speak of corruption but when their CM goes to jail in Karnataka, they don’t see corruption. It was BJP which tired to stall the Lokpal Bill. During the UPA regime, the number of roads built was three times bigger than the NDA regime. Our opponents do not know India’s history,’ Rahul added.
Effigy burnt on the eve of Thane visit
Thane: A group of miscreants burnt the effigy of Rahul Gandhi in Mumbra, on the eve of his visit to Thane district on 6 March. An irate mob owing allegiance to Mumbra-Kausa Association condemned the move of Congress to give a ticket from ward number 59 to a majority community member of NCP. Mumbra happens to be a minority dominated area and the mob demanded the ticket for 23 March by-election be given only to a candidate belonging to the minority community.
