The head of Maharashtra Congress, Nana Patole, has made a provocative statement regarding the Bharatiya Janata Party. Speaking in Akola, Maharashtra, he declared, 'The time has come to put BJP in its place. It's time to oust them from Maharashtra. This party, built on a bundle of lies, needs to be shown its rightful place.' He further accused the BJP of seeing themselves as gods, with their arrogance having grown unchecked. In Delhi, they view themselves as world guides, and in Maharashtra, Fadnavis believes he's divine. It's time to temper their power and show them their place.
Nana Patole criticized the BJP for spreading lies about the constitution, referencing a book Rahul Gandhi held and the reservation given to Muslims. At a rally in Akola for his party candidate Sajid Khan Pathan, Patole chided the BJP, claiming their ideologies stem from 'Manusmriti,' accusing them of keeping people impoverished so that a select few can rule.
Targeting Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Patole commented, 'Red is a sacred color in Hinduism, yet BJP associates it with Maoism. A newlywed wearing a red saree, her vermilion red—does it mean she's a Maoist? Someone needs to explain this to Devendra Fadnavis.'
BJP Approaches EC Against Rahul Gandhi
Maharashtra's 288 assembly seats are set for voting on November 20. Amidst this, the BJP has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission accusing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of making false statements and unfounded allegations against BJP during election rallies. The BJP claims that Rahul Gandhi relentlessly attacks the BJP for allegedly destroying the constitution, which they argue is utterly baseless.
Union Minister of State for Law and Justice (independent charge) Arjun Ram Meghwal stated a BJP delegation met Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar, informing him that the opposition leader in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi made false statements again during the Maharashtra election on November 6. They accused him of attempting to pit states against each other, tearing down the constitution, and falsely claiming that BJP intends to destroy it. These claims are unfounded.
