Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and the RSS of engaging in politics of intimidation and termed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) opportunistic.
The meeting will be held at the Congress headquarters, Indira Bhawan, according to sources.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday accused the BJP-led NDA government of targeting the Congress party to whitewash its own sins.
The remarks came in response to PM Modi's accusations that Congress was spreading "votebank ka virus" by opposing the Waqf Amendment Act and insulting B R Ambedkar.
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.
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.
