Lok Sabha elections: 'Stink of RSS...', Mallikarjun Kharge on PM Modi's ‘Congress manifesto imprint of Muslim League’

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that 'there is a stink of RSS in Modi ji's speeches'.

Kharge while hitting out at the Prime Minister for his comments on the Congress manifesto, said that Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah's political and ideological ancestors supported the British and the Muslim League against Indians during the Freedom Struggle.

In a post on social networking site X, formerly twitter, Kharge wrote: “There is a stink of RSS in Modi ji's speeches, BJP's electoral graph is plunging day by day, therefore the RSS has started remembering its best friend-the Muslim League!”

“Even today, they are invoking the Muslim League against the 'Congress Nyay Patra' guided and shaped according to the aspirations, needs and demands of common Indians. Modi-Shah's ideological ancestors opposed Mahatma Gandhi's call for Quit India in 1942, which was the movement chaired by Maulana Azad. Everyone knows how Prasad Mukherjee formed his governments in Bengal, Sindh and NWFP in the 1940s in coalition with the Muslim League.”

He then questioned, “Did Shyama Prasad Mukherjee not write to the then British Governor about how the Quit India movement of 1942 can be "combated" and how the Congress should be suppressed? And for this, he said that “Indians have to trust the British?”

The Congress President further added, “Modi-Shah and their nominated president are today spreading falsehood about the Congress Manifesto.”

"There is only one truth - the Congress's Nyay Patra reflects the hopes and aspirations of 140 crore people of India. Their combined strength will put an end to Modi ji's 10 years of Injustice!” Kharge said.

What did PM Modi say on Congress manifesto?

Speaking at a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Saharanpur, the Prime Minister said that the Congress manifesto "completely bears the imprint of the Muslim League". The demand for the division of British India into distinct Muslim and Hindu states came from Mohammed Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League. After the formation of Pakistan in 1947, the League became Pakistan's dominant political party.
