The BJP-Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Mahayuti alliance retained power in Maharashtra by sweeping the Assembly elections.
Congress on Friday said BJP national president JP Nadda’s letter to party chief Mallikarjun Kharge on Manipur situation was full of "falsehoods".
He referred to the Mahayuti government as a "50 khoke (cash boxes in Marathi), everything's okay" government.
The Congress leader accused the BJP of deliberately allowing the state to burn, claiming that at least 17 people had lost their lives since November 7.
Promises matter in elections because voters lack rationality. As election history shows, freebies do get votes. Hitherto, it was a time tested method of electoral success for a desperate opposition.
Welcoming the first time voters, Kharge said, "My young friends who are going to vote for the first time have a big responsibility on their shoulders..."
The Congress chief also exuded confidence that there will be a new beginning on 4th June, the day results of the general elections would be declared.
Addressing a public meeting in support of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi here on Wednesday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that voting for the BJP means voting against the interests of Dalits, tribals, farmers and, poor upper castes.
The Congress chief said that the Opposition's INDIA alliance is fighting this battle against unemployment and inflation.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday cautioned voters not to get deterred by diversionary tactics of "hateful" speeches which divide the society, as the voting for the fourth phase of general elections gets underway.
