New Delhi [India], April 21 : Slamming the INDIA bloc's Ulgulan rally held in Ranchi, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Shehzad Poonawalla on Sunday said that it is not a rally to save the Constitution, but one to 'save corruption'.
"The INDI Alliance gathered in Ranchi to save the Constitution, but it was a rally to save corruption. The INDI alliance has no vision for the country. There is only confusion, ambition and politics of division," Poonawalla said.
Launching an attack on the opposition unity just ahead of the elections, Poonawalla said, "Workers of RJD, Congress and other parties attacked each other with lathi and stones. If this is their character for seat sharing even before coming to power, then what kind of 'jungle raj' will they bring if they come to power?"
Furthermore, Poonawalla highlighted discord within the INDI Alliance across different states, citing instances such as Kerala, where the Left and Congress are at odds, Bengal where Mamata Banerjee has distanced herself, and Punjab where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress are not in alliance.
The grand Oppostion rally in Ranchi today is being held amidst the Lok Sabha polls is themed around the arrest of the ex-Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and AAP's Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, two of the key faces of the INDIA bloc. Both Hemant Soren and Kejriwal are in judicial custody.
Earlier, Congress MP Syed Naseer Hussain said today that it's the beginning of the fight against the fascist forces.
"It will be the fourth rally (of alliance) after Mumbai, Patna, and Delhi. It's not just about the trumpeting but the beginning of the fight against the fascist forces. Mallikarjun Kharge, , Tejashwi Yadav, Akhilesh Yadav, and other leaders will join the rally. PM Modi has been the PM since 2014, he has made many promises to the people of the country, and this is the time for him to present the report card and vision for the coming days," Hussain said.
