'Nehru Did a Lot, But Did Not Possess Arrogance': Kharge on I Day As India marked its 80th Independence Day, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge delivered a scathing critique of the BJP led government's tendency to claim credit for past achievements.
His speech from the Red Fort invoked Jawaharlal Nehru and other Congress stalwarts to highlight their contributions and underscore the party's dominant role in India's nation building journey.
Kharge carried weight when he recalled Mahatma Gandhi's "Do or Die" call during the Quit India Movement, a poignant reminder that India's freedom struggle envisioned more than just independence from colonial rule.
