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.
Kharge said even though BJP leaders are saying 'Abki Baar 400 Paar' (this time, above 400 seats) that won’t materialise, the people of India will teach Prime Minister Narendra Modi a lesson in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
The 140 crore people of the country are no longer going to fall prey to this lie," the Congress president said.
He also urged the people to come out and exercise their franchise in large numbers.
"Congress guarantees to revive the Scheduled Caste Plan and the Tribal Sub-Plan and implement it by law," he added.
Kharge said that Modi and Shah's political and ideological ancestors formed their government in alliance with the Muslim League in 1940.
