Yavatmal: Voters in Delhi have rejected ruling BJP leaders’ attempts to spread hatred during assembly polls there and chose love and brotherhood by ensuring victory of Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), said opposition leader in Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad.
Azad was addressing Congress workers’ rally at Wadafale Palace on Jamb Road on Saturday.
Azad further said BJP ministersa and MPs tried to polarize voters by raking up Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) instead of tackling several burning issues like economic slowdown, rising unemployment etc faced by the country.
The senior Congress leader was in the city for the felicitation of newly elected party MLAs and ministers from the region.
Prominent among those felicitated during the function included ministers Ashok Chavan, Vijay Wadettiwar, Yashomati Thakur and legislators Sulabha Khodke, Amit Zanak and Amar Rajurkar.
Former MPCC president Manikrao Thakre, former Rajya Sabha member Vijay Darda, former minister Shivajirao Moghe, MPCC women’s wing president Charulata Tokas and several others were also present.
Dubbing the present Union cabinet as ‘election campaign committee’ of BJP, Azad said it’s acting as an agent of promoting religious polarization in the country.
In 2005, Congress-led government had introduced Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme to enhance rural population’s buying capabilities, said Azad, adding the present dispensation has cut the budget allocation for the scheme. “Similarly, the government speaks of doubling the income of farmers, but here too the budget allocation for agriculture has been reduced,” pointed out Azad.
Speaking on the occasion, Vijay Darda expressed concern over the debacle of Congress in Vidarbha and urged party leaders to shoulder the responsibility of regaining the people’s support.
