ED, CBI, I-T raids in Chhattisgarh can’t demoralise Congress workers, we’ll win there and in M.P.: Kharge
The HinduCongress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday said the recent raids by central agencies in Chhattisgarh can’t demoralise their workers, asserting that the party will win the assembly elections there as well as in BJP-governed Madhya Pradesh. The Congress president said Modi had once strongly criticised the “NREGA scheme”, a rural job guarantee initiative, but the same programme helped the government in providing employment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Kharge said their party brought about the ‘Green Revolution’, which enhanced farm productivity, in the country to make it self-reliant in food grain production, and claimed that the current government is able to provide free ration to lakhs of people because of that vision of the earlier Congress governments. Mr. Kharge also recalled the contribution of former PMs Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri in the development of the country and slammed Modi for questioning the Congress on this issue.
