Different leaders will address different rallies in different parts of the state,” he talked about.

    “There is no need for speculation. State Congress president Nana Patole did not attend (the rally) due to some other important commitments.

Either way, he is afraid and doesn’t want Rahul Gandhi in Parliament. You get immunity in your speeches in Parliament and it is freely reported in the media. We saw the spectacle of the ruling party disrupting Parliament and not letting the opposition have its minimum say.”

    “Modi is scared of the questions raised and popularity of Rahul Gandhi after the Bharat Jodo Yatra. The ruling party is scared of questions raised by Rahul Gandhi on Adani and the PM doesn’t want to face or answer the questions,” he talked about.
