Talking on the launch of Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi’s manifesto in Mumbai, Kharge criticised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s “Batenge to Katenge” (For those who divide, you can be minimize) remarks. “You have already divided society by adopting the Manusmriti,” he mentioned.
“While Adityanath says ‘batenge to katenge’, Prime Minister Modi says ‘ek hai to safe hai’ (unity ensures safety). So whose slogan will prevail? We don’t know. What we know is that the country has always been united. That’s how we got freedom, but you people killed the person who gave us freedom,” Kharge remarked.
He emphasised the election’s significance for Maharashtra’s future, stating, “The outcome will also send a message to defectors across India if anybody can form governments by changing and splitting parties.”
Kharge criticised Modi and Fadnavis for questioning whether or not a red-coloured Structure copy proven by Rahul Gandhi at a Nagpur assembly was linked to city Naxals. In response, he displayed {a photograph} of Modi presenting the same copy to Ramnath Kovind on July 26, 2017, questioning if that too had Naxal connections.
Later, talking at a ‘Save Structure, Save Democracy’ conclave at Y B Chavan Centre, Kharge warned of impending risks if the nation fails to keep up unity. He drew a distinction between former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and the present administration, noting, “Vajpayee, who was also a BJP leader, never destroyed constitutional institutions and democracy in the country. Instead, as Prime Minister of India, he helped Afghanistan restore democracy. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi continuously destroys the constitutional framework. There is danger to democracy and constitution from RSS, Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.”
