Setting the tone for the Assembly elections, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday targeted the Prime Minister and the BJP for accusing Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Baghel of using Hawala money for elections. He also accused PM Modi and his people of trying to weaken the Congress.
Exhuburating confidence, Kharge said, "I was in Chhattisgarh yesterday. Modi Sahab, Shah Sahab and their army were also there. You must have seen and rea about ED, CBI and IT raids to instill fear in our workers. PM Modi and his people want to weaken Congress and make them sit at home so that they get demoralised. They think that this will benefit BJP. They are wrong. Now Congress will win Madhya Pradesh under all circumstances. Let Modi and Shah come, let people lie as much as they want. Nothing is going to come out if it, 'Haath' will win."
