Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday claimed that democracy will end in the country if the “Modi-Shah sarkar” returns to power, launching an attack on the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance.
Targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah while addressing a public meeting in Madhya Pradesh’s Satna district, Kharge said they will also scrap the Constitution.
“They will scrap the Constitution scripted by Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar. If you want to keep it alive, the right to vote for women, labourers and farmers, then vote for the Congress and its ‘panja’ (hand) symbol,” he appealed to the voters.
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi was scheduled to address the rally in Satna but his visit was cancelled as he took ill, a party leader said earlier, adding that Kharge would fill in for him.
