BJP functioning on borrowed leaders: Kharge

Hindustan Times  

The Bharatiya Janata Party is functioning on borrowed leaders who left other parties and became ministers and this phenomenon has made party workers lose faith, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said on Friday as he pushed back against criticism of his party’s poll manifesto and said the Opposition’s election plan was effective. In an interview with Hindustan, Kharge expressed confidence that the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance would be able to stop the BJP from achieving a third consecutive term, acknowledged the party had made sacrifices as part of the coalition, and underlined the party’s contribution to upholding reservations. As a result, borrowed persons become leaders, and the BJP workers lose faith in them,” he said. Kharge also pushed back against criticism levelled by the BJP that the Congress was bent on reducing OBC quotas and giving it to Muslims, arguing that it was his party which first brought “justice”.
