State unit chief Nana Patole said that while implementing the manifesto of Navsankalp Shivir, the Congress will expose the workings of the Modi government. He said party workers should work to convey to the masses how the BJP has failed on the fronts of rising inflation, unemployment, and farmers’ woes.

Revenue Minister Balasaheb Thorat said the Constitution is being attacked and the ideology of the Congress is being systematically destroyed. “Those who believe in the Congress ideology must be prepared to repel these attacks,” he said.
