Congress chief Rahul Gandhi yesterday took on the Narendra Modi-led BJP government at a meet of the united opposition here, hitting out at the dispensation on the contentious Rafale deal and resolved to dislodge it. He claimed while his party viewed the country as pure as Ganga river, where people amalgamate with each other, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) viewed it from the prism of 'sone ki chidiya' (golden bird) to make money out of it and favour their friends and crony capitalists.

"Today while they are busy in making that cage, we will try to stop them from making it," he said. He was speaking at the sixth edition of the 'Sanjhi Virasat Bachao Sammelan' (Save composite culture convention), a platform of more than 15 opposition parties. The event today was attended by leaders from the major opposition parties such as the Left, RJD, JD-S, SP, DMK, RLD, NCP among others.
