The Hindu  

December 03, 2022 12:46 pm | Updated 12:50 pm IST - Ahmedabad Facing flak from the Bharatiya Janata Party over his "Ravan" jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has accused the ruling party of misusing his remarks for electoral gains in Gujarat, and said that politics is not about individuals but policies. Asked whether personal attacks, such as his own "Ravan" jibe, have become a key feature of the campaign, Mr. Kharge said, "They are misusing it for electoral gains." Wondering where the Arvind Kejriwal-led party was getting funds for putting out full-page Asked if he was insinuating that the BJP had brought in the AAP to eat into the Congress's votes, Mr. Kharge said he had received feedback from party leaders which shows that AAP was working on "somebody's instructions". The Congress, which has been out of power in Gujarat for 27 years, carried out a "silent" campaign this time, Mr. Kharge said.
