Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who reached Kadegaon in Sangli in Maharashtra, while addressing the party workers said, “You workers, like the lions of Congress party, have kept all the BJP people scared. Patangrao Kadam has done development work. He stood with the Congress wholeheartedly all his life. Even when Indira Gandhi lost the election, Kadam was with her. A meeting was called at 2 o’clock in the night.”
Rahul Gandhi attacked BJP and RSS and said, “BJP-RSS people used to say that we are against caste census. We put pressure and a few days ago RSS said that yes caste census is necessary. If you are saying today that this is necessary, then what were you saying in the last 6 months?”
He further said that whatever happens, Congress and our alliance will conduct caste census. Because we want to know who is benefiting from the wealth of this country and who is not.
‘BJP people set Manipur on fire’
Rahul Gandhi said that the fight is of ideology. On one side is the Congress party and all the great men. They want to benefit the elected people. They want the Dalits and tribals to remain backward. They spread hatred. They create fights between languages and castes. Look at Manipur, the BJP people have set fire there. The PM cannot go there.
He further said that today this fight is between Congress and BJP. Earlier this fight was fought by Phule and Shivaji. These same ideas are in our Constitution.
‘Only the one who does wrong asks for forgiveness…’
Rahul Gandhi said, “Today we inaugurated the statue of Kadam ji. I was thinking that he worked with you with love for sixty years. In all these days, he never apologized to you because there was no need. Only those who do wrong apologize.”
He further said that a few days ago a statue of Shivaji Maharaj was made. I read in the newspaper that the Prime Minister said that I apologize to Shivaji Maharaj. Now I want to understand why he apologized. There can be different reasons for this. The first reason could be that the contract was given to a person from RSS.
Rahul Gandhi said that the second mistake could be that there was corruption and theft in the making of the statue and perhaps the Prime Minister is apologizing for this because the person to whom I gave the contract indulged in corruption and stole from the people of Maharashtra. The third reason could be that you made the statue in memory of Shivaji and did not even take care that the statue remains standing.

‘I guarantee you…’
Rahul Gandhi said, “I guarantee you that the statue of Kadam ji will be visible even if you come here after 60-70 years.” He further said that the Prime Minister should not apologize to Shivaji Maharaj but should apologize to every person of Maharashtra and should also explain to him why he runs a government of only two people. Wherever we look, the biggest contracts are given to Adani and Ambani. I was told for the first time that I was forbidden from taking the names of Adani and Ambani in my speech. After this I built their new A1 and A2.
