If Mahatma Gandhi were alive today, he would have launched an agitation against the NDA government at the Centre that was much bigger than the one he led against the British, former Goa Chief Minister Luizinho Faleiro said on Friday.

Speaking at a ceremony at the state Congress headquarters on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, Faleiro also slammed the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government for what he called "trying to destroy evidence" in the gang-rape of a Dalit woman in Hathras, by hurriedly cremating the body in the dead of the night, without her parents' permission.
