From here, in the history of Congress, the process of ceremonially hoisting the national flag every morning and lowering it in the evening began. He said that Gandhiji had become the Congress President only once for one year, but after that he made such a long streak that it is not possible for any politician to match him.
BJP accused of spreading hatred
He said that Gandhiji has given a new shape to the Constitution of Congress. Created a strong base for Congress in the hearts of villages, poor, farmers and laborers. Connected the Congress organization to constructive work. The campaign against untouchability and discrimination was included in the main agenda of the Congress. You all should be proud that the Congress Party has the legacy of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. We are his successors. Attacking the Modi government and the BJP, he said that it is a matter of great regret that even after 100 years, today’s ruling party and its leaders openly raise inflammatory slogans and its senior leaders are disturbing the harmony in the society and spreading hatred among the communities. Have been. They are working to make people fight.
