MUMBAI: Increasing resentment towards the BJP-led Governments at the Centre and in Maharashtra will lead to their ouster, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad today said.
The Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha was speaking at the `Jan Aakrosh’ agitation organised by the Congress in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra.
“Ahmednagar has played important role in freedom struggle. This was the place where the decision to overthrow the British rule was taken. Gathering clouds of resentment of farmers and masses will overthrow the current regime,” Azad said.
The agitation has been launched by the State unit of the Congress to protest “anti-people policies” of BJP-led Governments and their “unfulfilled promises”. It will culminate on November 8, the first anniversary of demonetisation, which will be observed as a “Black Day”, the opposition party has said.
Apart from Azad, senior Congress leaders Mohan Prakash, Ashok Chavan, Prithviraj Chavan and Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil were present at the public rally in Ahmednagar. (AGENCIES)
