Modi, KCR two sides of same coin: Kharge

Hyderabad: On his maiden visit to Hyderabad as president of the All India Congress Committee, Mallikarjun Kharge, who participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra on Tuesday, accused the BJP and RSS of systematically weakening the country's constitutional institutions, while also stating that only the Congress under Rahul Gandhi could form a non-BJP government at the Centre. Speaking at a public meeting on Necklace Road, Kharge claimed that the Modi-led BJP government and the RSS were attempting to divide the country along religious and linguistic lines, instilling hatred and fear among people. In an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Kharge claimed that the BJP government had failed to deliver on its promises of creating two crore job opportunities even after eight years in power, failing to fill 13 lakh vacancies while SC/ST were to receive nearly six lakh jobs. Kharge also attacked Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao, claiming that he has forgotten that it was the Congress party, led by Sonia Gandhi, that achieved Telangana's self-rule, but that KCR has betrayed the cause of Telangana by turning it into a family business while ignoring the larger interests of the people of the state.
