‘BJP’s ancestors supported British, Muslim League': Kharge counters PM Modi on manifesto
Hindustan TimesCongress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “Muslim League imprint” remark on the grand old party's Lok Sabha election manifesto, saying that the ruling top leaders are “spreading falsehood”. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge Kharge also asserted that BJP's “ideological ancestors” supported the British and the Muslim League against Indians in the freedom struggle, referring to the founder of Bharatiya Jana Sangh Shyama Prasad Mukherjee. And for this, he said that “Indians have to trust the British?” “Modi-Shah and their Nominated President are today spreading falsehood about the Congress Manifesto…There is a stink of RSS in Modi ji's speeches, BJP's electoral graph is plunging day by day, therefore the RSS has started remembering its best friend-the Muslim League,” the Congress leader added. On Saturday, PM Modi during one of his rallies at Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur hit out at the Congress manifesto saying it “bears Muslim League imprint, part of it dominated by leftists”.
