Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole on Friday attacked Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis for his allegations that several organisations associated with Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra were undermining the state and democracy, and promoting "Urban Naxalism."
His demand came a day after the Maharashtra CM told the assembly that 40 of the 180 outfits that took part in the Bharat Jodo Yatra were named as frontal organisations when the Congress-(undivided) Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) ruled the state and the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) was in power at the Centre.
"Congress is never involved in any anti-social activity. Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed their lives for the nation and the Constitution of India. Rahul Gandhi received a lot of support in the Bharat Jodo Yatra and he united the nation...I wrote a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis demanding a list of the organisations," Patole said.
In the letter, the Maharashtra Congress Chief also called for transparency and demanded CM Fadnavis to provide a list of the "urban Naxal" organisations and their heads. who allegedly participated in the Bharat Jodo Yatra, news agency ANI reported.
