The statement of the Congress chief comes in the wake of the party's dismal performance in the recently concluded Delhi Assembly polls.
Expressing deep sorrow over the loss of lives in a stampede at New Delhi Railway Station, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and other top Opposition leaders have blamed Railways' "mismanagement" for the tragic incident and demanded that the “exact” figures of dead be declared at the earliest.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Centre over the stampede at New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday, demanding transparency and accountability in such situations.
Over 45 crore people are expected to attend this year, including 15-20 lakh Kalpvasis, thus making it the largest human aggregation in recorded history. The event area spreads over 4,000 hectares with 12 kilometres of infrastructure, which is a wonder.
The Congress chief said that his party's priority in the next five years will be to restore the healthy, fearless and trustworthy atmosphere for businesses if elected to power.
He urged people to choose democracy, so that "the institutions can return to their independent form and are not pressed under the thumb of brute power".
Kharge said that he was deeply pained by the cowardly terror attack on IAF convoy in Poonch.
Kharge said the "desperation and worry" is leading the PM to use a language that doesn't suit the high office he held.
Instead of standing with everyone, he adopted the policies that have led to the erosion of inclusivity, alleged the Congress president while addressing an election rally in Chhattisgarh.
