The Congress, eyeing the south Indian state, has formed an electoral alliance with N Chandrababu Naidu-led Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS).

While Chhattisgarh has traditionally seen a straight fight between the BJP and the Congress, this time a third front comprising Ajit Jogi's Janata Congress Chhattisgarh (J), Mayawati's BSP and the CPI is also in the fray.

On the last day of campaigning in the poll-bound state of Chhattisgarh, the Congress scion alleged that industrialist Anil Ambani's only qualification to bag the contract was his friendship with the 'chowkidar' PM.

After releasing the manifesto, the BJP chief launched a scathing attack on Congress and said that a party that sees revolution in Naxalism can do no good for Chhattisgarh.

Days before the first-phase of voting in Chhattisgarh on November 12, Gandhi also accused Modi and Singh of making "false" and "unfulfilled" promises.

  The 47-year-old Congress chief told the gathering he did not want to make "false" promises like the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had allegedly made.

Chhattisgarh Assembly Elections 2018: Within next 48 hours, the Congress chief will also hold rallies in Khairgarh (Rajnandgaon) and Dongargarh (Rajnandgaon) towns, Charama (Kanker district) and Kondagaon.

PM Modi will address a rally in Bastar district's headquarters, Jagdalpur, while Gandhi will tour the state for two days during which he will address five rallies and hold a road show in Chief Minister Raman Singh's constituency, Rajnandgaon.

Terming the criticism, that almost the entire cash money got deposited in the banks post demonetisation, as 'ill-informed', Jaitley said confiscation of currency was not an objective of demonetisation.

"Rs 36,00,00,00,00,000. That's how much the PM needs from the RBI to fix the mess his genius economic theories have created. Stand up to him Mr Patel. Protect the nation," he tweeted.

In a fresh salvo against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress scion said that if an inquiry starts on the Rafale deal, the Prime Minister is not going to survive the probe.

"Rafale is an open and shut case and there is only one man who has done corruption," Rahul Gandhi said.

The matter escalated to such a level that Rahul Gandhi had to intervene. An angry Rahul Gandhi reportedly set up a three-member committee to resolve the matter.

The meeting comes amid seat-sharing talks between the two parties for the Assembly elections.

The height of the statue's foot is bigger than Modi. 

Interestingly, all this happened in front of the Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

In his second visit to New Delhi in less than a week, Naidu will call on Gandhi as part of his efforts to bring all opposition parties on a common platform.

Interacting with BJP booth level workers via video conferencing, PM Modi said Rahul Gandhi's keeps repeating things like a 'stuck gramophone'.

In an exclusive interview with IndiaTV, Fadnavis said if Rahul Gandhi is trying to become a 'good Hindu' by visiting temples across the country, then he should also make it clear whether he would support construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya or not.

Congress leaders including Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh also visited the memorial of India's first woman prime minister.
