The head of the All-India Congress Committee (AICC) Ramesh Chennithala, Samahharashtra (AICC), said the center’s “authoritarian” Modi government is abusing the law enforcement bureau (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to keep the opposition silent and suppress the voice.

“An ED action against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi [in the National Herald case] It is politically motivated. Modi and Shah cannot silence the Congress party through such actions, which will not break our morale. Instead, we will face this oppression with greater strength. “He said in a protest with Maharashtra Congress President Harshavardhan Sapkal.

Police detained Vijay Wadettiwar, the leader of the Legislative Council Group, Satej Patil, the head of Goa Manikrao Thakre, former state president Nana Patole, MPS, MLAS, MLAS, former ministers, former ministers, and party officials and workers. They were released later that day.

“Will continue to fight”

Mr Shanlidara said in a post-protest press conference: “We strongly condemn the actions taken against Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. There is widespread public anger. Congress has held two days of protests nationwide, opposing the oppression for two consecutive days, including in the protests in Maharashtra, which condemned the BJP government’s protests.

He also said that the Maharashtra ruling coalition sold out the trust of the people by forgetting to offer Rs 2,100 under the Ladki Bahin program, and allocated only Rs 500. He added: “Mahayo State launched the program purely for the sake of voting. Congress has warned that the program is misleading. Congress will soon reorganize its state and regional commissions and hold party camps in Mahabaleshwar.”
