Rahul Gandhi shakes hand with Sitaram Yechury. Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Narendra Modi government. AP
Rahul Gandhi accused the RSS of trying to destroy the Constitution and added that while the Narendra Modi government wanted Swachh Bharat, the Opposition wanted 'Sach Bharat'. PTI
The Sajha Virasat Bachao Sammelan (save composite culture programme) is being seen as the Sharad Yadav's show of strength against JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar's decision to ally with the BJP. He dismissed rumours of being removed from the JD(U) and said that when the people of India rise, even a Hitler cannot stand in their way. AP
Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of not fulfilling the promises made to the people during the 2014 general elections. These included bringing back black money stashed abroad and creating jobs for the youth. PTI
The Congress leader also took a dig at the government's flagship programme ‘Make in India’, saying most products available in the country were made in China. PTI
In response, BJP's Ravi Shankar Prasad hit back at the Opposition and termed the conclave as an alliance of 'scared people'. Prasad further accused Gandhi of heading the Congress undemocratically by creating fear among Congress party workers. Twitter @ANI
