Speaking on the occasion, the alliance leaders including Kharge, Pawar, Gandhi and Thackeray asserted that the MVA was a united and strong force, which will sweep the elections in Maharashtra.They slammed the BJP for "stealing" the popular mandate through splits and urged people to teach the party a lesson. They alleged that BJP was misusing probe agencies like CBI and ED to destabilise elected governments.
Rahul Gandhi said it was an ideological fight between the INDIA bloc on one side and the RSS-BJP on the other. He claimed that BJP and RSS were "infiltrating" institutions.They put pressure on the Election Commission, use the CBI, ED, Income Tax department to topple the government. You must remember that the previous Maharashtra government, your government was removed by stealing and giving money," he alleged
Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of not fulfilling some of the promises he made in the past."We have delivered our promises in Karnataka, Telangana and other places where our governments are there but sometimes PM Modi makes fun of us. He says Congress people always give a guarantee but they do not fulfil it. PM Modi gave so many guarantees in 10 years, did he fulfil any guarantee?," he ask.
