New Delhi: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said that the Congress alwats stood with ‘satya’ (truth) and accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulgin in vote chori (vote theft).
Addressing the Congress’ Vote Chor Gaddi Chhod' rally at Ramlila Maidan at the National Capital, the senior party leader vowed to remove the "Narendra Modi-RSS government" and said, “We will stand with 'satya' (truth) and will remove the Narendra Modi-RSS government from power. They have 'satta' (power), and they indulge in 'vote chori'."
Speaking further, the former Congress President also alleged that while the BJP transferred Rs 10,000 in the just-concluded Bihar polls, the EC did not take any action against them. “In the fight between truth and untruth, the EC is working with the BJP-led government," he added further.
Pointing out that even as it may take time, the truth will ultimately prevail, the Congress leader added, “We'll work with truth and non-violence to defeat Modi and (Amit) Shah."
While several other Congress leaders also spoke at the rally, party president Mallikarjun Kharge pointed out that those indulging in vote-chori are traitors of the country and must be removed from power.
He added that it was the duty of every Indian to strengthen the ideology of the Congress; it is only this party that can save the country. "The BJP people are 'gaddars' (traitors) and 'dramebaaz' (indulge in theatrics). They need to be removed from power," Kharge noted.
