Fadnavis Criticizes Congress-Led CJP and Rahul Gandhi's Youth Outreach Programmes
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis criticized the Congress-led CJP movement, calling it the 'Congress Jitao Programme' and alleging its leaders are 'pawns' linked to Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra. He also disparaged Rahul Gandhi's youth outreach, 'Chhatron Ki Goonj,' dubbing it 'Jhooth Ki Goonj,' and accused the opposition of shifting focus from ideology to individual issues. Fadnavis highlighted concerns about NGOs associated with the Congress and defended the BJP's counter-narrative efforts ahead of upcoming elections.
