Maharashtra minister Balasaheb Thorat has said that those political leaders who believe in constitutional and democratic values, should unite under the Congress umbrella, instead of passing critical remarks against it.

He also said that he did not agree with NCP president Sharad Pawar's comments against the Congress, likening the grand-old party to a 'zamindar' (landlord) who has lost his land. Thorat said Congress has never done "zamindari".
