Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to undermine Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru`s worldview. Chennithala made these remarks during a two-day state-level training session in Lonavala, Pune, which was attended by key Congress leaders including Nana Patole, Prithviraj Chavan, and Balasaheb Thorat, PTI reported. 

According to the report, Chennithala criticised Modi, claiming that if he comes to power, it will result in a crackdown on dissenters owing to his apparent disdain for democracy and the Constitution. He emphasised on the need for unity within the Congress party in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections, as well as the necessity for discipline among its members.
