On joint rallies and meetings of INDIA bloc partners, he said talks are on with Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav in this regard.
“There is coordination at the district, block and state level, and rallies of INDIA bloc leaders Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Mallikarjun Kharge and Akhilesh Yadav will start soon. Dates of the rallies will be announced very soon,” he said.
Releasing the party’s election manifesto in Uttar Pradesh, Pandey said the party will work for every section of the society, including youth, farmers, tribals and women. He said the party has included people’s suggestions and their sentiments in the manifesto.
Asked about Narendra Modi’s “Muslim League imprint” remarks on the Congress’ manifesto, Pandey said the prime minister is scared of the Congress. “The promises made in the BJP’s manifesto of giving Rs 15 lakh and doubling the income of farmers, among others, were not fulfilled. Now they are scared of the Congress manifesto,” he added.
The Congress leader said Modi should stop spreading poison and dividing the country.
